The Carpenedo wood, a natural area protected for the quality and rarity of its environments, is one of the most beautiful places to discover

The wood is open to the public every Sunday throughout October, until 25th October 2020

The entrance, from 10 am to 6 pm, is free, and a maximum of 30 people are allowed simultaneously

 

You should not miss the chance to discover this ancient wood that can be visited on public holidays in spring and autumn

The ten-hectare area is crossed by pedestrian paths from which you can enjoy various natural environments, from the historical wood of oaks and hornbeams, a remain of the ancient wood that once covered the whole Venetian hinterland, to the meadows and wet areas
