A little further on, when the bike path ends, continue on a dirt road alongside the bank of the Guà river and reach Campagnola (the site of an old now-disused water mill).

After crossing the bridge, you’ll go down a bit and continue toward Monticello di Fara. Upon reaching the church, cross the road, turn left, and then immediately right onto via San Giovanni Bosco. After a straight stretch, cross the road that links Lonigo to Gambellara and follow the left bank of the Rio Camparolo.

A little further on, in front of the headquarters of Civil Protection, turn left and continue along via Boschetto.

Continue straight, at the intersection keep to the left and take via Ciron, until you reach Agriturismo Palazzetto Ardi. After passing the agriturismo, at the intersection turn left, go back under the railway, and continue until you meet the road that leads from Lonigo to the train station of Locara. Turn left and proceed until you reach the chapel of via San Vettore.
At this point, abandon the main road and take via Trassegno. A little further on the right, there is a spring with a fountain. Continue a bit further until the intersection and take Strada della Pietre. At the end of the road, there is an intersection with the road that connects Lonigo with San Bonifacio. Turn left onto via Pavarano until you reach the road signs for Santo Stefano di Zimella. Returning to the intersection, proceed toward Santo Stefano heading south, and for a stretch, you will travel along the ancient riverbed of the Adige river. Pass via Fossalunga and, at the roundabout, continue toward Santo Stefano.
Just beyond, upon arriving in Santo Stefano, turn left and proceed through the entire town. Pass in front of the church and shortly after, cross the bridge over the Togna. Travelling down the main road, you will arrive at the farmhouses of Villa Pisani, where there is a little chapel that is not very visible from the road. A little further on, you arrive at Villa Pisani. Cross the bridge over the Guà river and turn down the small road on the right. Cross the road and you will arrive in Bagnolo.
Past the bar, follow the main road toward Lonigo for a few meters and then take the road on the right, via Belvedere. Continue northeast until you reach the chapel of San Tomà. Go past the intersection and keep going along via Belvedere until you get to the intersection with via Turati. Turn right, and shortly after, turn left onto via Santa Marina, until you reach the old chapel of Santa Marina. Continue north, cross the road that connects the locations Rotonda and Stamberga, keep going along via Santa Marina and, shortly after, on the left, you will find the Speedway track.
At the end of the road, leaving the cemetery to your right, turn left and proceed until you reach the Municipal Hippodrome. Cross the Circle and proceed along via Roma and arrive at piazza Garibaldi. Turn left under the porticoes of the square, pass in front of the Cathedral and continue toward San Bonifacio on the bike path. Cross the bridge over the Guà river and, before the descent, notice to the right the niche chapel dedicated to San Giovanni Nepomuceno. Continue along the bike path that runs alongside the main road until you arrive at Ponte della Mola. Clearly visible from the bridge is the little chapel dedicated to the Madonna. After crossing the bridge over the Rio Comparalo, continue to follow the bike path until the cemetery of Madonna. From here, take the old railway road until you reach the football field, turn left, and proceed along via Chiesa. Shortly after, you’ll return to the Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Miracoli in Lonigo.
