The section offers a scenic view of the Barbana Sanctuary, the barene (small islets), the casoni (typical fishermen's houses) and the Belvedere village. Along the route there are refreshment points and rest areas dedicated to cyclists. Then enters the ancient part of the Roman city of Aquileia, reaching the Roman forum.
