Etappe 33: Alpina Antica Trail | ET33: Sesto al Reghena - Concordia Sagittaria

After passing through the town gate of Sesto al Reghena, keep left towards Bagnarola. Continue along Via Zanardini. At the roundabout, go straight on onto Via Levada. At the junction, keep left again towards Bagnarola and follow the signs to the Church of San Pietro. The route follows a gravel cycle path throughout, veering off the road after a short while and leading through vineyards and fields. After crossing a ditch (there is a bridge), you will reach the Church of San Pietro after 2 km. Continue straight ahead, cross Via Borgo di Sotto after 100 metres and continue straight on into Via Stalis.

If you wish, you can walk a little further and visit the mills of Stalis. Otherwise, after 200 metres, turn right off the tarmac road and walk along the gravel path through the countryside. This is where the GiraLemene nature trail begins. At the end of this path, you’ll reach Borgo Braida and keep right onto Via Ippolito Nievo. At the small junction with the spring in the middle, keep right again. You’ll then come to another junction with a small church on the right and keep left until you reach the centre of Bagnara.

From the centre of Bagnara, continue straight on along Via Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata and then straight on along Via Roma until you reach the centre of Gruaro. Here, turn left into Via Guglielmo Marconi. At the junction, keep slightly to the right and turn left after the small church. Continue along the road that winds through the countryside, always following the course of the GiraLemene.

This will take you onto Via Boldara, where you turn right, following the cycle and footpath that leads to Portovecchio – always alongside the River Lemene. From the village, continue along Via Venerio Giovanni until you pass under the A4 motorway flyover. After the underpass, turn right onto the first road, Via Ponte di Covra, and follow it to provincial road no. 463.

After about 700 metres, past the railway overpass, turn right onto Via San Martino. After crossing the bridge over the Lemene, turn left onto Via Palestro and follow it to the parish church of San Nicolò. From there, turn left onto Viale della Stazione and cross the large roundabout via the underpass, which leads onto Via Bono. Follow this for about 50 metres and then immediately turn into Borgo San Gottardo, which leads to the centre of Portogruaro.

You cross the centre by continuing straight ahead. At the car park of the Hotel Portus, turn right onto the cycle and footpath that runs alongside the Lemene and leads to the Cathedral of Santo Stefano di Concordia.
