Tips
A series of wooden walkways suspended over the water allow you to cross this suggestive and somewhat melancholy bend of the Sile. Here lie the skeletons of the burci, ancient traditional wooden boats used in the past for commercial transport.

This dead arm of the Siles is a strange and yet interesting place. A wooden walkway leads across the water, where half-sunken wooden boats lie. The so-called boat cemetery was created by striking workers of a former oil mill, which sunk these barges in the 70s. Today they are almost rotten and offer a strange and at the same time so fascinating sight.
