The Basilica of Santa Maria di Monte Berico is an important Roman Catholic pilgrimage church located on the hill of Monte Berico. Its origins date back to two apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which are said to have appeared to the peasant woman Vincenza Pasini in 1426 and 1428 during a plague epidemic. Mary promised to spare the town if a church were built there, which the population immediately did. The original Gothic church was completed in just three months. The current basilica was built between 1688 and 1703 according to plans by Carlo Borella in the Baroque style, with the Gothic structure incorporated into the new building. The façade was redesigned in the Neo-Gothic style in 1860. Particularly striking are the three symmetrical Baroque façades with 42 figures of saints and three bas-reliefs by Orazio Marinali, as well as the bell tower by Antonio Piovene, erected in 1825. Access from the city is via a 700-meter-long staircase with 150 arches, symbolizing the 15 mysteries of the Rosary and 150 Hail Marys. The basilica is an important center of Marian devotion, attracting numerous pilgrims, and was elevated to a minor basilica by Pope Pius X in 1904.

A beautiful dirt climb, a bit challenging at first but then more regular. The exposure is southeast, so despite the many trees, it's best avoided during the hottest hours of the summer, but is very enjoyable during the spring and autumn months.

The Salve Regina church is immersed in the greenery of the town of Valmarana, on the border between the municipalities of Altavilla Vicentina and Arcugnano. Built in 1900 and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Sorrows, it is a peaceful place reachable via a forest path much loved by hikers and cyclists. On May 8, 1904, the first Holy Mass was celebrated here, and shortly after, Pope Pius X granted special indulgences for pilgrims who go there to pray on dedicated occasions. Now, however, the church needs restoration work to preserve its structure and spiritual value; a fundraiser is underway to save it.

The Bacchiglione is the longest resurgence river in the Veneto and perhaps in Italy (118 km) which originates from the natural area of the homonymous Risorgive, located just north of Vicenza in the municipality of Dueville, a beautiful and idyllic area, worth visiting, where the river originates, continuously drawing water throughout the year from the upper Vicenza plain and the Altopiano dei 7 Comuni and from where a route can start along the banks that reaches the southern lagoon of Venice, where it flows into the Brenta river near Chioggia, without particular differences in height (about 60 m), crossing the cities of Vicenza and Padua. It is an almost entirely navigable river and at the time of the Serenissima it was the main means of transporting goods between Venice, Padua and Vicenza via rafts, which were pulled by oxen along the banks as they went up the current, also thanks to the help of locks that can still be admired along its route. It interfaces with many cycling routes of considerable interest such as the Anello dei Berici, the Treviso/Ostiglia cycle route, the Anello degli Euganei and many others that allow you to discover the vast territories of central Veneto characterised by the presence of the Berici Mountains and the Euganean Hills (both candidates for recognition as a Unesco MAB Biosphere). For much of its route, the Bacchiglione itinerary is in fact one of the most significant sections of the Monaco/Venice cycle route, which after descending from the Brenner Pass and running through the Adige valley, turns east to Verona to reach the Bacchiglione river in Vicenza, which it will then follow to the sea. Following the course of the Bacchiglione it is possible to intercept 3 of the 9 places in the Veneto region included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, namely “Vicenza and the Palladian Villas in the Veneto”, “The 14th Century Fresco Cycles in Padua”, “Venice and its Lagoon”. Given the considerable length of the route, it is possible to reach primary railway stations in several points that allow for an easy return without having to resort to cars or other motorized means. The stations of Vicenza and Padua are a short distance from the route but with modest effort and following well-marked and passable cycle routes you can also reach the station of Grisignano di Zocco following the Treviso/Ostiglia or Grimana cycle paths.
