The Crosara Oasis is located along the Brenta River, a place where nature and culture merge for the well-being of the environment. The oasis is enriched with native trees such as willow, poplar and ash, flowery meadows, and new paths, while invasive species are removed to restore the balance of the ecosystem.

The Hornbeam of Contrà Piani is a magnificent and majestic centuries-old tree: with its sturdy trunk and its broad crown, it dominates the gentle hill on which it is placed and the valley below. A suggestive bucolic picture in every season. At least 120 years old (late 19th century), it has a circumference of 3 meters and a height of 20 meters: the dimensions are considerable for the species, since, being used mostly as firewood, it is very rare to find specimens that reach these dimensions. It is registered in the list of Monumental Trees of Italy. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrya_carpinifolia

The Calvene Waterfalls Park (officially 'Franco Totaro Natural Park') is a tranquil setting that combines the natural beauty of the waterfalls and forest with several artworks and installations discovered along the easy trail. Among these, a large, stylized horse made of wood and metal stands out at the beginning. The waterfalls are arranged in a series along the valley floor: they appear very evocative, secluded, surrounded by lush vegetation, with the water cascading over the rock it has shaped and covered in a blanket of lush green moss. It's best to visit after days of heavy rainfall to find them lively and thundering; otherwise, they risk being dry. The waterfalls are easily accessible via the family-friendly trail that winds through the forest. An adventurous alternative (EE/EEA) consists of a secured path (with stirrups, ladders, and metal cables) that runs alongside them and up the stream, climbing between the rocks. The park has certainly seen better days: today (June 2024) it is somewhat abandoned, with the picnic area and swings disused; even the artwork seems neglected. Dilapidated and fascinating. https://www.facebook.com/boscodellecascatecalvene

Easy and fun even for children. In summer almost always in the shade.

I suggest starting the route at the Angarano power plant, to be seen absolutely south of the Ponte Vecchio, and go down to Piazzola sul Brenta, you can do both right and left Brenta, with a bit of orientation and a spirit of adventure you can also find a well-trodden bottom.

Limited park, but really pretty! visited in autumn it is really pleasant and evocative. Perfect with children to spend half a day immersed in nature. The park is free to access. I recommend a complete change for children, there is a stream and waterfalls... they won't be able to resist! To reach it, type "Franco Totaro Natural Park" on Maps. https://www.facebook.com/parcodellacascate/

Beautiful area for walking and cycling! For the gravel it is a paradise! DESCRIPTION: A resurgence, or fountain, is a source of fresh water of natural origin, sometimes made to emerge by man, typical of alluvial plain soils such as the Po-Venetian Plain. The Bacchiglione river originates at the foot of the Vicentine Prealps and runs through a large stretch of the Po Valley, crossing two large cities, Vicenza and Padua. Since ancient times it has represented a very important communication route and its waters have been exploited for many productive and commercial activities. The ancient name of this river was "Edrone", as mentioned for the first time in the writings of Pliny the Elder in the 1st century. A.D. while the current name "Bacchiglione" could derive from the dialect verb "bacajare" that is to rattle, chat continuously, perhaps because the gurgling produced by the water during floods is similar to human shouting. In the Venetian Plain, in the area around Dueville, the waters that flow deeply encounter increasingly consistent layers of impermeable clay, which hinder their underground flow and "force" them to spontaneously rise to the surface. In this way the suggestive spring springs are formed: small hollows in which the perennial gushing of the streams of water originates a stream called "resurgence". Some of these springs, marked on the map of the Risorgive del Bacchiglione, are also visible within the area! The spring water has several peculiarities: it is very clear and, thanks to its constant temperature (between 10 ° and 13 ° C), it creates a particular microclimate that is perfect for hosting animal and plant species that are not common in the neighboring areas.
