The Gorgo di Latisana area is also an ideal place for the cultivation ofWhite Asparagus, one of Friuli Venezia Giulia's excellences, whose presence in the region has been documented since the time of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
    RECOMMENDED DISH: Asparagus and hard-boiled eggs.

    Itinerary

    The loop begins in Lignano Sabbiadoro, a renowned seaside resort that is located near the mouth of the Tagliamento River. Riding up the course of the Tagliamento River, you will pedal in the direction of Latisana, a small town with a Venetian atmosphere. In Precenicco, following the course of the Stella River almost to its mouth, we return to Lignano following the bends of the river and some stretches of the lagoon.
    The route includes crossing the bridge over the Venetian coastline at Bevazzana, which is open to bicycles at certain times present in the DETAILS section.
