Discover Castello Di Brussa

Castello Di Brussa combines a distinctive access location with the landscape of ValleVecchia and several paths for different types of exploration. The place is therefore particularly interesting if you would like to consider nature, cycling, walks, and a striking building with cultural and historical significance together in one destination. The main points of orientation are located along the road to Valle Vecchia, in the Brussa area, and in the immediate surroundings of the nature oasis.

Access to the Brussa Area

Castello di Brussa is located on the SP 70, the provincial road leading to Valle Vecchia. At the same time, the site forms the gateway to the larger Brussa area. There, Castello di Brussa serves as an important territorial base as well as a service center for ecological, landscape, and tourism development. This location explains why the site is perceived not only as an individual settlement but also as a point of orientation for the surrounding area.

ValleVecchia and Its Paths

ValleVecchia, a nature oasis covering approximately 900 hectares, is located in the immediate surroundings. It is bordered on all four sides by marine, lagoon, and river waters. The paths of ValleVecchia can be used on foot, by bicycle, and on horseback. For walks, the area offers a route for long, unhurried, and relaxing walks. Thus, alongside the more sporty cycling exploration, a particularly peaceful way of spending time is also at the forefront.

The Brussa–ValleVecchia route passes through Castello di Brussa and is suitable for cyclists of all experience levels. It connects the site with the ValleVecchia area. A cycling loop also invites visitors to view the crenellated building from which Castello di Brussa takes its name. At kilometer 5.6, the cycling loop enters the Castello di Brussa district. Another route leads from Castello di Brussa to the bridge providing access to Valle Vecchia.

Buildings, History, and Nature Observation

The village of Castello di Brussa is dominated by the building known as the Castello. With its style, the crenellated building recalls a medieval fortification. As a result, in addition to its landscape, the site has a clear architectural landmark. Another historical dimension refers to the ancient Tiliaventum Maius: one particularly prominent branch ran toward Marina di Lugugnana and Castello di Brussa.

In the immediate surroundings of Castello di Brussa, the Oasi Naturalistica di Vallevecchia regularly organizes themed workshops and guided tours. In the immediate surroundings of Brussa Beach, there are also observation towers and viewpoints from which the local wildlife can be observed. The riding option mentioned is the “Brussa Horse Oasi” agriturismo in the Brussa district of Caorle, in the immediate surroundings of Castello di Brussa.
