· Friuli Venezia Giulia
In Friuli Venezia Giulia, the FVG2 bike path coincides with the AdriaBike and the European Mediterranean Sea Bike Path (EuroVelo 8).
The route is structured in the stages Venice-Caorle / Caorle-Lignano / Lignano-Grado / Grado-Trieste. The itinerary passes through the main seaside resorts of Friuli Venezia Giulia, the low Friulian plain, the protected natural reserves up to reach the Karst. During the summer months, some sections of the itinerary can be traveled onboard boats equipped for bike transport to enjoy the sea views. This opportunity offers the chance to relax and closely observe the wonderful natural world of the lagoon environment. At Lignano Sabbiadoro, you arrive thanks to the X River bike boat service. Already in Lignano, it is possible to embark for the fishing villages of Marano Lagunare and Grado. From Cervignano del Friuli, you take the Alpe Adria bike path that crosses the UNESCO site of Aquileia to reach Grado, connected by sea with Trieste. From Sistiana you cycle towards Trieste accompanied by a splendid view of its Gulf.
It is a mostly unshaded route and in the summer season it is preferable to cycle during the cooler hours.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
The route takes place on stretches of cycle path and mixed-use road. Pay particular attention on the overpass located between Torviscosa and Cervignano del Friuli and on the Coastal Road (SR14).
