Discover Bassa: Culture, Cycling Routes and Nature

Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Bassa can plan their stay around culture and nature observation. The “Portus Aedro” exhibition hall displays archaeological finds from the Roman era. At the nearby Oasi Ca’ di Mezzo, birdwatchers can use observation hides in the vegetation. This provides two different travel ideas side by side: a day plan focused on cultural history and one focused on nature.

Museums and the Casone Azzurro

The Sala Museale Cesarina Foresti is located at Via Bassa 3 in Arzergrande. The Casone Azzurro was restored in 2008 and furnished with the original furniture. Visits are possible only by reservation. Anyone wishing to visit the Casone Azzurro should include the required reservation in their day plan.

Cycling routes for different day plans

The “Schilla” cycling tour leads from the square in Arzergrande via Via Bassa to the Osteria del Sole, then along the embankment of the Fossa Schilla and the Scolo Altipiano; it is approximately 8 km long.

The “delle acque” cycling tour also leads from the square in Arzergrande via Via Bassa to the Osteria del Sole and then along the embankments of the Scolo Acque Straniere, the Scolo Altipiano and the Arzeron Basso. It is approximately 4 km long; an additional 2 km each way must be added for the route from Arzergrande. Anyone planning this route can take the additional kilometres from Arzergrande into account directly.

There are four short and very easy cycling routes in Arzergrande along cycle paths and country roads. The different route lengths help you compare the options and shape your day plan according to your desired extent.
