Despite its short distance of less than 10 km (one way), this cycle-walking route is a real jewel. Unimaginable for anyone who travels the adjacent roads full of traffic, Piovene-Rocchette, Velo, Cogollo and Valdastico, especially at the mouth of the valley with junctions and crossroads at the exit of the motorway.
The track is made on the grounds of the former railway of Rocchette-Arsiero, within the rail network between Torrebelvicino, Schio, Thiene, Rocchette (to act as a junction), Arsiero and (subsequntly) Asiago, built in 1885, with a narrow gauge then converted to a standard gauge, expanded in 1910 towards Asiago with the track of "Costo" with a rack and reduced gauge. Then the track of Arsiero was modified in 1933 to a standard gauge, and the route was eventually closed in 1964.
It is a walk suitable for everyone, quite "busy" with cyclists, runners, walkers, moms with strollers, especially on Saturdays and Sundays during spring and summer. The route is also perfect for Nordic walking.
