A natural oasis of authentic beauty
The lagoon of Venice laps on the north coast of the Cavallino Treporti Peninsula. It is a natural environment of rare and incomparable beauty and has remained naturally beautiful over time. It astounds the eyes and the soul.
For centuries it has been a protagonist and spectator of the history and memory of this charming coast. It has witnessed all the series of events in the communities in the region. It welcomed the ships of farmers who once went to the vegetable market of Rialto to sell their products. It has seen the construction of old farmhouses and houses on wooden stilts, also known as the "fisherman's huts". It has also witnessed the construction of forts, batteries, telemetry towers, barracks and bunkers, built to protect Venice during the Great War.
Discovering the lagoon
With its canals, stretches of water and lagoon valleys , this corner of paradise offers extraordinary scenery. The perfect backdrop for an adventure set in wild but inviting nature. You can discover the lagoon on foot or by bicycle, along the banks, or by boat along the canals. It's slow moving flow allows you the privilege of admiring it quietly, almost suspended in time. Exactly the kind relaxing time you look for on an outdoor holiday .
The silence and the sounds of nature will
surprise you and give you an unexpected
experience
. You will enjoy the lapping of the water as the
boat glides along the canal, the rustle of the
trees, the flapping of wings and the chatter of
Egrets, the noises of the fish that fearlessly
dart out of the water, the silent and slow
flight of the seagulls and of the black winged
stilts and the courteous greeting of the
fishermen.
Every part of it is a unique and unpredictable
scene. You could even come across cormorants,
one of the few species of birds that can move
their eyes. Or maybe even see a heron trying to
hunt, using a whole variety of techniques,
including postures and movements that will
surprise you. Once again nature will show itself
in all its greatness.
Awaken your senses
Open your ears and eyes and dive into the
beautiful lagoon landscape, its imperfections
and surprises that you will see before your
eyes.
Let yourself be intoxicated by the scent of salt
from the canals and let the aromatic smell of
Artemisia turn on your senses.
Feel the authenticity of these places, an
ecosystem of unrivaled beauty that displays its
wildest and most untamed characteristics and
that welcomes you with its rugged charm.
Here you will find that even the man-made landscapes, such as the fish farms and the "peocere", fit perfectly in uncontaminated areas of this oasis of birdlife . You will see that they were made in full respect of nature and its slow evolution.
You should go and venture into the exclusive lagoon landscape!
