"Il Filo d'Erba" Altaura e Monte Ceva - Padova - Veneto - Italia

HOW TO REACH OUR FARM IN MONTE CEVA
Via Cataio 68, Ca´Vecchia - Battaglia Terme

Our Farm at Monte Ceva is located close to the E2 bike lane, the Ring of the Hills. We are at a distance of 700 metres from the path, a mere 5 minutes pedalling! The cycling path is 60 km of even routes curving around the Euganean Hills (70 km if coming all the way from Padova). Below there is a good link where you can download the brochure.
Remember that it is still possible to get this from any info-point in the Province of Padova.

When biking along the E2 from Battaglia Terme towards Montegrotto you reach a level point with a train crossing. Right after you cross it, there will be a street on the left which will take you directly to our farm! (If you are coming from the opposite direction – from Montegrotto towards Battaglia Terme - there will be a street on the right just prior to the train’s crossing). The link bellow maps the connection between the E2 and the access road to our farm. http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=491310

HOW TO REACH OUR FARM IN ALTAURA BY BICYCLE
Via Correr 1291, Altaura – Casale di Scodosia

- From Verona: We recommend arriving at Legnago through scattered bike paths along the Adige and, if you visit the province of Verona and you are willing to spend approx. 10 euro, you can always avail yourself of a good map for cyclists, the so-called "Tappeiner", prepared by Fiab and Friends of the bicycle. Here is the signage from Legnago in Merlara:
