The best MTB trails around Annone Veneto

Portobuffolè is a historic city worth seeing.

Great spot for a short break to catch your breath with a wonderful view.

The Porticciolo di Riviera Scarpa is one of the most picturesque and atmospheric corners of Motta di Livenza, located along the ancient riverbed of the Livenza. This evocative waterside view evokes the deep historical connection that the city has always maintained with river navigation and with the Republic of Venice. Today, the area presents itself as a tranquil and well-kept promenade, where the reflection of historic buildings on the river's surface creates an almost picturesque landscape. It is the ideal place for those seeking a regenerating stop, away from traffic, immersed in a setting that combines nature and architecture. The presence of small boats and the proximity to the center make Riviera Scarpa a privileged observation point to appreciate the discreet elegance of the Motta territory.

The Sanstino territory was characterized in its southern part by large lagoons and marshes until a few decades ago. Until the first half of the 20th century, these environments proved very harmful to humans, in various aspects, as they were a source of diseases, such as malaria, and were not sufficiently productive. Thus, with major land reclamation works, the land was taken from the water to make it cultivable and to obtain products that allowed many families to live. However, the lagoons were also a huge reservoir of biodiversity with many species of animals and plants that were largely destroyed during the land reclamation operations. It is also for this reason that, within the project for the historical reconstruction of the Bandiziol and Prassaccon woods, it was desired to leave a further mark of what the territory and landscape of S. Stino once were, by creating a wetland area, partly similar to the numerous wetlands once present even within the woods, called "bassone". This intervention is not only an operation of "philological" recovery of the pre-reclamation hydraulic system but, above all, presents a significant environmental value as it reconstructs the natural habitat of various bird species. The small lake is located in the eastern part of the Bosco di Bandiziol, covers an area of approximately 10,000 sq m and has a rounded shape with small islands within it. To better reproduce different lake habitats, the small lake has varying depths, from a few centimeters to over 2 meters, thus offering many bird species the opportunity to find a suitable environment to stay. In fact, in the shallower waters and marginal areas, it is possible to see herons, egrets, plovers, mallards, and other surface ducks. In the rest of the lake, there are divers, cormorants, and diving ducks that find food in open water or on deep bottoms. The islands and the winding perimeter shapes were created specifically to allow the avifauna to hide and find refuge, so that it can be disturbed as little as possible by human presence. In fact, the conformation of the banks and the vegetation (reeds, herbaceous and shrubby vegetation) offer all the necessary environments for the rest, feeding, and nesting of birds.
