Discover Silea on the Sile River

Silea is one of the eleven municipalities in the Sile River Regional Park. Within the municipal area, the Sile splits into two branches, which join again further downstream. This creates several distinct focal points for a stay: activities along the Sile, the community sports, leisure and dining facilities at Lago Verde, and educational visits to the Centro Cicogne LIPU di Silea. These themes offer different ways to get to know the area: a route on foot or by bicycle, a former quarry put to a new use, and a programme that can be adapted for groups and families. If you are looking for accommodation in Silea, you can choose your destination based on which of these is most important for your trip.

Cycling and walking route along the Sile

A cycling and walking route runs through Silea along the towpaths and embankments of the Sile between Treviso and Casale sul Sile. The route passes through Villapendola in the municipality of Silea and follows the towpath on the left bank of the Sil Morto. The description therefore offers two levels of orientation: Treviso and Casale sul Sile indicate the route between the towns, while Villapendola and the left bank of the Sil Morto identify specific sections of the route.

A footbridge over the water crosses a restored reed bed where numerous waterbird species can be observed. The Cimitero dei burci is also visible from the riverside route. If you are particularly interested in waterbirds, the reed bed may be a specific reason to include this route in your plans.

Porto di Silea is considered a convenient place to park your car and continue by bicycle. This allows you to combine travelling by car with a onward journey by bike.

A different focus at Lago Verde

Lago Verde is a former quarry that has been developed for community sports, leisure and dining facilities. This background sets it apart from the riverside route: the focus here is not on towpaths, embankments and reeds, but on the transformation of a former extraction site and its community uses. Silea thus offers two distinct options side by side: activities along the river and a site developed for sports, leisure and dining.

Educational visits to the Centro Cicogne LIPU

The Centro Cicogne LIPU di Silea offers educational visits and individually adaptable programmes for school classes, families and organised groups. The programmes last an average of two to three hours; the duration may vary depending on the programme. This timeframe gives you a general idea of how long a visit may take and refers to the educational programmes. If you are planning a visit, confirm the arrangements before your trip. For your day’s itinerary, it is useful to distinguish this activity from the riverside route: at the Centro, the duration depends on the programme, while the route focuses on the course of the Sile.
