Interesting stage for the naturalistic value of the Brenta and the territory crossed. The last kilometers are inside Padua, rich in history and religion linked to the “Saint”: Anthony of Padua (native of Portugal and also known as “from Forlì”, where he began his evangelization).
Having crossed the whole square in front of the villa, you go towards the Ostiglia cycle path, which follows the old railway. We return to the Brenta, which is skirted; then continue up to Vaccarino Tremignon. At the traffic light, cross the very busy SP 47 which leads from Curtarolo to Limena. Then take the cart track parallel to the state road up to Limena, crossing a canal. To visit the Punta Speron Park: a very beautiful park on the banks of the Brenta. Walk along the river bank and cross the bridge over the Brenta. Go along the left bank of the Brenta and enjoy the park in all its splendor for 7km. Near Vigodarzere you go under the railway, go up the bridge that takes you to Padua; you cross it. You meet the sign of the path of S. Antonio. You pass under the A4 Venice-Turin and the ring road in succession. We then arrive at the Sanctuary of Arcella. Then you take the overpass passing the station platforms. Then you pass near the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, you pass over one of Padua’s canals on the Ponte Molino. Soon you reach the Basilica of Sant’Antonio di Padova.
