Fishing valleys with lunch in a stilt house

  • Meeting 15 minutes before departure: in Valle Cornio- S.S. Romea, 17 (km. 110) locality Lova (for directions see Atn Laguna Sud on Google Maps). Free guarded parking.
  • Boarding and departure at 11 a.m. - Return: about 5 p.m.
Departure is on the Cornio Canal, an ancient branch of the Brenta River, along which it is possible to observe numerous species of birds, which on the shallow waters of its bends find food and shelter.
Skirting the banks of the valley areas, we arrive at the well-known, characteristic, splendid and unusual Casone di Valle Zappa, in typical Dutch style, where we will make a brief stop for an exterior visit.
We will then reach the stilt house "La Pettegola" where we will make the stop for lunch with a fish menu, in a unique and incomparable setting and environment. This is a typical pile-dwelling - once used for mussel processing - and located in front of the striking casone of Valle Zappa. Surrounded by the typical "velme" and "barene" (salt marsh) and, in the distance, by the characteristic ruins of old valley casoni – typical countryside buildings that housed agricultural workers - it offers a unique and evocative view. The hut currently lacks waterworks so the boat's toilets are used. Tables and benches will be set up for lunch, served at the table.

Once lunch is over, we resume navigation and continue to Valle Figheri to admire, from the boat, the "Casone Labia" and the Padovana Tower, used for bird watching. Then we return to the point of departure (scheduled arrival at 5 p.m.).
On board, a guide explains the peculiarities of the lagoon and fishing valleys, and entertains guests with evocative tales and ancient hunting and fishing legends.
