(1) - (2) - (3) - (4)

The starting point is in front of the Santuario della Madonna dei Miracoli in Lonigo (1). Proceed by bicycle along via Chiesa; at the end of the street, turn right and continue until the intersection with via dell'Artigianato. Keep left and a little further on, on the left, you will see some large
mulberry trees (2). Continue past a curve to the right, and immediately on the left, you will see the recently built aedicule votive capital of the Immaculate Conception (3). Continuing along via Campistorti, at the intersection on the right, inside the drainage ditch, you can see perhaps the last remaining spring in the area: water flows from the spring throughout the year (4).

Bridge over the Rio Camparolo - Small church in via Bonioli, Lonigo - The Guà river

(5) - (6) - (7)

Proceed further along via Campistorti, cross the bridge over the Rio Camparolo (5) and, a little further on at the intersection, turn right. Continue for a few dozen meters until you reach the small church in via Bonioli, featuring a niche capital dedicated to the Assumption, the small square, and the typical tavern (6). From the church in via Bonioli, go to the end of the square, climb a few steps on foot, and ascend the right bank of the Guà river (7).

View of the Colli Berici Winery - The Giazzara of Sarego -

(8) - (9)

From this point, you can see Villa San Fermo, the Cathedral, and an evocative panoramic view of via Bonioli. Now proceed along the cycle path heading north. Upon reaching the Ponte della Vittoria, cross the road connecting Lonigo to Locara (pay attention to traffic) and continue along the cycle path that runs along the bank of the Guà river. On the right, you can see the old pelatària (former tannery), the Colli Berici winery, and the park of Villa San Fermo (8). Reaching the Sarego bridge, cross the road, pass the bridge, and continue along the cycle path that runs on the middle embankment between the Guà and Brendola rivers. Here in Sarego, it is interesting to visit the old Giazzara (ice house) (9) (private property).

The old mill at Campagnola - Villa Favorita

(10) - (11)

From the Sarego bridge, proceed north by bicycle along the middle embankment. A little further on, where the cycle path ends, proceed along the dirt road flanking the bank of the Guà river until you reach Campagnola (10) (site of an old, now decommissioned water mill). At the intersection, just after passing under the viadact of the road leading from Meledo to Monticello di Fara, take the dirt road on the left that climbs onto the viaduct and the bridge
over the Guà river. From this vantage point, you can see Villa Da Porto, known as La Favorita (11), a work by Muttoni, situated on an isolated hillock. After crossing the bridge, descend slightly and continue towards 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 connecting Lonigo to Gambellara (pay attention to traffic) and flank the left bank of the Rio Camparolo.

A little further on, in front of the Civil Protection headquarters, turn left and continue along via Boschetto. After a few curves, continue north, passing between Ecoglass and the paper mill (glass recycling and processing respectively). Pass under the railway bridge and, a little further on, turn left onto via Cà Bandia. Proceed straight, keep left at the intersection, and take via Ciron until you reach the Palazzetto Ardi farmhouse. After the farmhouse, turn left at the intersection, pass under the railway again, and continue until you cross the road leading from Lonigo to the Locara railway station. Turn left and continue until you reach the capital in via San Vettore (13).

Spring (Le Basse) - Capital in via Madonna - Paleochannel of the Adige river

(14) - (15) - (16)

At this point, leave the main road and take via Trassegno. A little further on the right, there is a spring with a fountain inscribed with the saying "Whoever drinks this water lives a hundred years" (14). Continue further until the intersection, then take the Strada delle Pietre. At the end of the street is the intersection with the road connecting Lonigo to San Bonifacio. Turn left onto via Pavarano until you see the signs for Santo Stefano di Zimella. Here we recommend a short detour to visit the capital dedicated to the Madonna (15). Returning to the intersection, continue south towards Santo Stefano; for a stretch, you will travel along the paleochannel of the Adige river (16). Pass via Fossalunga and, at the roundabout, continue towards Santo Stefano.

Turn left under the square's porticoes, pass in front of the Cathedral, and continue towards San Bonifacio along the cycle path. Cross the bridge over the Guà river and, before the descent, note the niche capital on the right dedicated to Saint John Nepomucene (24) (protector of waters). Continue along the cycle path flanking the main road until you reach the Ponte della Mola. The aedicule capital dedicated to the Madonna (25) is clearly visible from the bridge. After crossing the bridge over the Rio Camparolo, continue along the cycle path to the Madonna cemetery.
