If you’re dreaming of a relaxing holiday surrounded by nature and the sea, Eraclea Mare is the perfect destination to rediscover peace, beauty, and genuine well being. Located about six kilometers southeast of the town of Eraclea, this seaside resort is a small paradise where nature is the undisputed star. With its shaded pine forests, golden dunes, and the deep blue of the Adriatic, Eraclea Mare offers picturesque views that invite you to slow down and breathe deeply.
It’s the ideal place for those looking to escape the chaos and enjoy a more authentic experience, surrounded by quiet landscapes and a slower pace of life. Whether you prefer walking, cycling, or simply breathing in the clean air, you’ll find the perfect setting here. Let’s explore some of the most fascinating routes between the sea, countryside, and river.
From sea to countryside: cycling through the fields
One of the most beautiful bike routes is a 26.4 km loop that winds through farmland shaped by the great Venetian land reclamation. If you don’t have a bike, you can rent one at Ferro Dante on Via delle Tule 22, in the center of Eraclea Mare. From there, a scenic route begins, running alongside the Revedoli canal, through cultivated fields, tidy orchards, rice paddies, and vast stretches of corn and wheat.
Cycling here gives you a real glimpse into a countryside still tied to natural rhythms and agricultural tradition. Along the way, you’ll come across the historic Termine water pumping station in Brian, a still-functioning hydraulic facility that symbolizes the transformation of this land. For a tasty break, stop at one of the local farms open to visitors.
At Azienda Agricola La Fagiana, you can learn about rice grown using traditional methods, while La Spiga – Cuor di Noce offers insight into walnut production, one of the area’s finest products.
Along the Piave river: history, water, and nature
The second recommended route is a 25.2 km loop that starts from Eraclea Mare and follows the banks of the Piave River. The trail begins just outside town with a crossing over a charming pontoon bridge, an evocative spot that immediately transports you to another time. From here, you follow the riverbank, surrounded by a beautiful fluvial landscape.
Wild vegetation, views of the floodplain, and traditional fishing nets (known as bilance) make this a truly peaceful and unique environment. On the way back toward the sea, you’ll cycle past cultivated fields, vineyards, and farms including another stop at La Spiga Cuor di Noce, where you can rest under the walnut trees that yield the area’s prized nuts.
The pine forest of Eraclea Mare: a walk in the green
For walking enthusiasts, the pine forest of Eraclea Mare is a true haven of peace perfect for unwinding and recharging in nature. Shaded trails, the scent of pine, and birdsong create a calming and refreshing atmosphere. A walk through the trees is especially revitalizing, even on the hottest days, thanks to the forest’s natural coolness.
The walk can end with a stroll along the beach, perhaps at sunset, when the sea turns golden and the scenery becomes truly magical.
Eraclea Mare: an authentic experience, immersed in nature and silence
Whether you choose to cycle through the countryside, follow the Piave’s course, or walk between pines and sand, Eraclea Mare is sure to surprise you. It’s the perfect destination for those seeking a sustainable holiday, immersed in nature and far from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded tourist spots. Its slow pace, understated landscapes, and genuine atmosphere make it a place where you can rediscover the joy of life’s simple pleasures.
A small oasis of green and blue perfect for recharging body and mind.
