The best traffic-free bike rides around Santa Maria Di Sala

Il Parco dei Pensieri, located in the hamlet of Codiverno within the municipality of Vigonza, is a green oasis immersed in the tranquility of the Paduan countryside. Designed as a space for regeneration and reflection, the park winds along cycle paths and walkways immersed in nature, among lush trees, large grassy areas, and bodies of water that recall the ancient river and rural landscape of the territory. The area is conceived not only as a place for outdoor recreation and walks, but also as a true sensory and cultural path, where the protection of local biodiversity is combined with installations and spaces dedicated to rest, meditation, and community events. It represents a precious reference point for leisure time, offering residents and visitors an authentic contact with the natural heritage and peasant memory of the area.

Mulino Michieletto (formerly Pamio), the “middle mill”, the smallest of the Scorzè mills. Of sixteenth-century origin, it passed through various owners and was managed by the millers of the Pamio family who took care of its operation and productive activity. Today it is a private property with horse breeding; in addition to the two barns (haylofts) for sheltering vehicles, the two entry holes for the spindles (pins) have been preserved on the south wall. From here, without a doubt, begins the most interesting area from a landscape point of view of the Quattro Mulini Cycle-Pedestrian Path. Leaving the urban area, you immerse yourself completely in the countryside. The path, bordered by a wooden fence, follows the sinuous course of the river and its many bends up to the Mulino Todori, between the localities of Contea and Canove.

The Il Mulino Todori (formerly Pamio) stands between the localities of Contea and Canove. The existence of a mill in this area has been known since 1455. Run by as many as three families, all belonging to the Todori branch of the Pamio family, it had three millstones: for maize, for wheat, and for the waste of corn and cobs. The mill was subsequently rebuilt by the noble Soranzo family, who created the adjoining manor house with the architectural characteristics typical of Venetian villas, of which the central trifora can still be identified. The milling activity definitively ceased in the early 1960s. The mill, today privately owned, is located within the Oasi Todori, a municipal green area inaugurated in 201. Characterized by high biodiversity, it currently occupies an area of 2.5 hectares as a refuge and protection area for various species of flora and fauna, including woodpecker, swallow, robin, blackbird, sparrow, finch, water rail. Among the tree species are field maple, hornbeam, poplar, willow, elder, and dogwood.

Located in Scorzè, along the banks of the Dese river, the Mulino Michieletto represents one of the most fascinating testimonies of Venetian hydraulic civilization. An integral part of the charming Percorso dei Quattro Mulini, this historic structure evokes a past when the local economy revolved around the power of water. Although no longer operational, the building retains its architectural charm intact, with visible signs of the ancient water wheels that once ground the area's cereals. Immersed in a valuable natural setting, a short distance from the Oasi Todori, the mill is today a privileged destination for those who enjoy cycle touring or slow walks, offering an authentic and silent glimpse into the symbiosis between man and the riverine territory.

Villa Agazzi Antonello, located in the hamlet of Cappelletta between Trebaseleghe and Noale, is a historic noble residence that embodies the elegance of Venetian country houses. Characterized by a symmetrical and refined architectural structure, the villa is set in a rural landscape where Roman centuriation is still legible. The building features a noble facade that reflects the classical style of the manor houses, once the hub of agricultural management and the prestige of local families. Surrounded by large green spaces, the villa testifies to the historical link between the inland territory and the architectural culture of the Serenissima, representing an important element of historical-environmental heritage enhancement along the border between Padua and Venice.

Il Mulino Todari, located in Scorzè along the Dese river, is a striking example of industrial archaeology and Venetian rural history. Dating back to the 16th century, it testifies to the importance of cereal grinding for the past local economy. Today, nestled in a protected natural area, the site is a beloved destination for walks and cycle tourism. Its well-preserved structure evokes the ancestral bond between man and water, fitting perfectly into the landscape of the "Mulini del Dese".

All works to see and reflect on.
