Musile Di Piave

Musile Di Piave is suitable for travelers who want to combine a river landscape with historical traces and nature trails. The Piave, its former river courses, and the constructed canals shape the character of the area. In addition, there are memorial sites from the history of the First World War, as well as exhibitions on the development of the landscape. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you would like to get to know Musile Di Piave primarily through paths along the water, nature observation, or historical topics.

Along the Piave

Route No. 2 begins at the new river port of Musile di Piave, immediately downstream from the Ponte della Vittoria. From there, it runs entirely along the right bank of the Piave and leads from Musile di Piave to Eraclea. This clear route makes it possible to experience the river as a continuous landscape area. When planning your day, bear in mind that the route connects the town with Eraclea and follows the right bank of the Piave.

The Centro di Educazione Ambientale “La Piave Vecchia” is associated with three nature trails. They can be completed in one day on foot and/or by bicycle. This allows you to plan your exploration of the surrounding area according to your preferred means of transport, without having to commit to just one way of sightseeing. The center is housed in the former elementary school in Castaldia, a district of Musile di Piave.

The history of the river is also reflected in changes to the watercourse. In Musile di Piave, the Piave was first embanked and later diverted. In addition, the Sile was routed through the former bed of the Piave Vecchia. The Fossetta Canal was created as part of the historic excavation of canals in this area. Those interested in hydraulic engineering, river courses, and the development of the landscape will find several different points of interest here.

History and insights into nature

The Centro di Documentazione Ambientale “La Piave Vecchia” comprises three museum rooms. They are dedicated to the fishing era, the source river, and the reclaimed landscape. These topics complement the outdoor trails with a documentary perspective. When planning your trip, you can therefore combine a tour of the museum rooms with a nature trail if you prefer both forms of engaging with the landscape.

Historical points of reference can also be found in the townscape. At Fossetta, the Via Annia crossed an old, now vanished branch of the Meolo via a stone bridge. At the entrance to the Ponte della Vittoria, the Monumento al Bersagliere commemorates the Bersaglieri regiments that fought along the banks of the Piave during the First World War. The parish church of San Donato was rebuilt in 1919. These places focus on different themes: ancient routes, military history, and the history of a rebuilt religious building.
