Navigation on the Sile
A particularly privileged way of observing the River Sile is to navigate up or down its peaceful waters, on splendid flat-bottomed motorboats taking advantage of the numerous different offers proposed by expert boatmen now working in the tourism sector, or by hiring a small electrically driven eco-friendly boat, or houseboat for an excursion in full freedom.
This is the perfect way to fully appreciate the flora and fauna of this surprisingly intact environment.
The winding green waterway teeming with mallards, coots, little grebes and storks alternates leafy plants, reed beds and old Veneto villas with villages, river ports and small hamlets evoking a laborious past, steeped in history and tradition.
