The route is perfect for children between 10 and 14 years old who want to explore the species characteristic of the lagoon landscape. Grado is the starting point for this challenge: it follows the Canale della Schiusa and continues on the cycle path of Via Monfalcone, until crossing the Canale di Primero. Halfway, the Valle Cavanata Nature Reserve is reached where, with some luck, you can see the many bird species that inhabit the area which, due to its conditions, is ideal. To reach the Caneo visitor center, it is necessary to cross Banco del Becco up to the mouth of the Isonzo River and near Punta Sdobba. To return to Grado, follow the same route.
