Ca' Zennare: Cycling Routes and Lagoon Landscapes

If you are looking for a hotel in Ca' Zennare, you can sort the local highlights according to the focus of your trip: five circular cycling routes start and end at Agriturismo Zennare; there is also the lagoon landscape, as well as local architectural and commemorative history. Consider whether cycling, nature or historical connections will play a greater role in your trip.

Cycling Routes and Planning

The five circular cycling routes are called “Pedalando tra terra e acqua,” “Alla scoperta della bonifica,” “Alla laguna del Lusenzo,” “Al mare tra Brenta e Adige” and “Tour della campagna in famiglia.” They all start and end at Agriturismo Zennare. Around three hours are planned for “Pedalando tra terra e acqua”; the Oasi di Ca’ di Mezzo is recommended as a stop along the way. Check the route conditions locally again before planning a ride. “Bonifica” refers to land reclamation; “Alla scoperta della bonifica” therefore has a different focus from “Alla laguna del Lusenzo.”

The “Alla laguna del Lusenzo” route leads to the Lusenzo Lagoon, which separates Chioggia from Sottomarina; a cycling and walking path runs there. For “Pedalando tra terra e acqua,” plan your day around the approximate duration and recommended stop; “Alla laguna del Lusenzo” can be understood in terms of its named destination area and the cycling and walking path.

Lagoon Landscape and Nature

Nearby is Valle Millecampi, which covers 1,608 hectares and forms a lagoon landscape. It includes lagoon mudflats, called “velme,” as well as low-lying islands known as “barene.” The Italian terms refer to two different forms of the lagoon: muddy areas and low-lying islands.

Nearby, Oasi Cà di Mezzo offers a natural setting for relaxation and leisure; it is home mainly to birds. It is also recommended as a stop on the “Pedalando tra terra e acqua” circular route. This brings route planning together with a distinct connection to nature at a named location.

Architectural History, Remembrance and Orientation

Agriturismo Zennare is located in carefully restored rural buildings dating from the early 20th century. A visible wooden roof was retained during the restoration, and the original terracotta tiles were also preserved. If you are interested in rural architectural history, two specific elements stand out: the roof and the tiles.

A memorial stone to the partisans Vittorino Boscolo Fiore, Vittorio Chiozzotto and Giuseppe Campaner stands in Ca' Zennare. Together with the restored rural buildings, it offers a distinct historical connection: the buildings represent rural architectural history, while the stone commemorates local history. From Ca' Bianca, the entrance to Tenuta Zennare is about 3 km away.
