Discover Pertegada on the Tagliamento

From the village square, you can reach the Tagliamento via a broad open area; from there, you can enjoy a view of the river. Anyone looking for a mix of riverside landscapes, walks, cycling tours and local history for their holiday will find various starting points here for planning each day.

Riverside landscapes and paths around Pertegada

In this section, Pertegada is considered the only inhabited centre with a direct connection to the Tagliamento that is not filtered through floodplain areas or the large embankment near Latisana. The Spiaggetta di Pertegada continues to be used by the local community. These two features give the village its own character: the river is not merely a landscape element on the outskirts, but shapes how Pertegada is perceived.

For walks, the embankment path along the Tagliamento is a good option. It is used on foot as far as the village of Case Masato. This allows you to plan a tour towards the riverside landscape while deliberately choosing a route where walking is the main focus. If you prefer to cover longer distances by bicycle, you can incorporate the embankment path into cycling trips that pass through Pertegada.

Another option is the AsterBike route between Latisana and the river mouth. It is part of the regional Ciclovia del Tagliamento and places Pertegada within a larger network of cycling experiences along the river. The Ring of Two Rivers has a different focus: the route is completely flat, but offers little shade. From Bevazzana it leads towards Pertegada, Gorgo and Latisana. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between a flat but largely unshaded cycling route, a longer excursion along the embankment and a walk to Case Masato.

Church, bell tower and local history

Pertegada's local history also makes it a destination for travellers who want to combine landscapes with cultural impressions. The Chiesetta di Sant’Agata was built in the 18th century and is the oldest surviving building in Pertegada. The bell tower of Pertegada was built in 1904 and is 27 metres high. In addition, the bell tower of the Chiesa dello Spirito Santo in Pertegada is a freestanding tower. Pertegada received its own parish, dedicated to the Holy Spirit, in 1926.

A special tradition is associated with the Foghera tal Timent. The first Foghera tal Timent was lit after a meeting of the 1959 graduating class on 5 January; this took place towards the end of the 1980s. Another historic turning point followed on 23 January 1933: the residents demolished the old Rossi house. A new church was to be built on this site. Events such as these give the local history specific dates and show that Pertegada is interesting not only for its riverside landscape but also for its deeply rooted local memories.

Choose Pertegada as your holiday base

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can first decide which part of the village and its surroundings should shape your holiday. If walks are your main focus, exploring the village square, the Tagliamento and the embankment path fits well with your plans. For a more active cycling holiday, the connections to the Ciclovia del Tagliamento, the AsterBike route and the Ring of Two Rivers are ideal. If you enjoy combining nature and history, you can link the paths along the river with Pertegada's historic sights.

Latisana railway station is also a relevant point of reference for cycling tours: from there, the route runs along the Tagliamento Ciclovia FVG6. The various routes and local sights help you choose your accommodation not only by the name of the destination, but also according to your preferred daily rhythm. This allows you to incorporate river views, activity and local history into your travel plans together.
