Lagoon Cycle Path between Aquileia and Grado

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful and also the final section of the Alpe-Adria cycle path. The last few kilometers of the tour run right through the Grado lagoon. Here the cyclist can finally breathe the sea air. The Grado lagoon is very salty compared to other lagoons. The fauna and flora in the lagoon are very lush. Over 150 different species of birds live in the lagoon alone. Many migratory birds rest in the lagoon in spring and autumn. The variety of different species of mussels and fish is also large. For example, the Capa Tonda and the Venus clam live here, as well as various types of shrimp, sole and perch.

One of the largest of the several hundred islands in the lagoon is called Barbana. On Barbana there is a pilgrimage church with the statue of the Madonna and Child, to which the fishermen of Grado hold a pilgrimage every year on the first Sunday in July, the so-called Perdon de Barbana. There are restaurants on several islands in the lagoon. So if you want to rest in an extraordinary ambience, you have come to the right place.

Mandracchio Harbor, Grado

Highlight • Settlement

Destination of the Alpe-Adria cycle path. After eight daily stages with a total of 410 kilometers, you really deserve the jump into the Adriatic. Three beaches with wonderfully clean water invite you to do so. In general, Grado is a very welcoming and interesting place. In addition to its long and turbulent history, Grado is now very popular with tourists. There are over 30 hotels, four campsites and around 40 to 50 restaurants and pubs. A specialty is the Gradeser Boreto, a fish soup. There are about 30 different species of Boreto, depending on the season other species of fish are included. In the months from April to November there are many gastronomic events dedicated to the fish products of Grado and the vegetables that come from the hamlets of Fossalon and Boscat. So it can be endured - even a day or two longer.

June 22, 2024,Ciclovia Alpe-Adria Radweg #7: Aquileia nach Grado und dann an den Strand 🏖️
Final spurt, finish under blue skies in Grado. But first we took a look at the Porto Fluviale in Aquileia. And after Grado we're off to the beach 🏖️, on holiday. 😎

Aquileia is famous above all for its mosaic floors, which date from different eras and are arranged in several layers. The largest area dates from the time of Bishop Theodorus around 300 AD, hence the name "Theodoric Mosaics."

🔥👨‍🚒👩‍🚒 the fire(s) at Monfalcone have not yet been extinguished or spread further, at least one big one has been added - disaster 🤔😱

A beautiful and very easy trip, all on a cycle path, mostly on the "walkway" that connects the two towns, crossing... The sea! The visit to the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta is beautiful, in a very quiet area for a relaxing stop. If we had had more time, and better weather, it would have been worth exploring the lagoon, …

Warm summer weather accompanied us on the tour through the lagoon of Grado. The route is very varied and not too strenuous....

Another tour today 🚴 ♀️🚴 ♂️ from Grado to Aquileia. The Basilica🕍 is worth a visit. Such a beautiful and well-preserved floor mosaic that is already 1800 years old can be seen there. We then cycled on to San Lorenzo and back towards Grado. And it was very 🥵🥵 today again. That was our final tour from Alpe-Adria tomorrow we're …
