From Conegliano to Vittorio Veneto
Conegliano
Our day trip starts from Conegliano. We have parked the car (Piazzale del Ruio Parking), and started t walk up to the road taking towards the Castle, passing in front of the former San Francesco convent and going up the steps of Calle Madonna della Neve.
The street runs alongside the Brolo (vegetable garden) of San Francesco which was the ancient vegetable garden and orchard of the convent. The stairs continue along the best preserved part of the city walls.
Continuing you come across the seventeenth-century Oratory of the Madonna della Neve.
At the end of the street you arrive on the road that was the former moat of the Rocca.
Going right you reach the top of the hill of Conegliano with the Rocca of the Castle.
Entering the garden, on the right is the Torre Mozza used as a restaurant and on the left is the Torre della Guardia.
Inside the latter there is the civic museum.
We recommend climbing to the top of the Tower which offers a splendid view of Conegliano and the entire surrounding area, especially on a beautiful day like the one we found!
We go back to the road not missing to stop to admire the view from the terraces of the square where the Church of Sant’Orsola is located which incorporates the remains of the ancient Collegiata Church of San Leonardo and the Collegiata Well.
We continue the walk going down the hill to reach the center with Piazza Cima.
If it is the right time, on the main street there are several places to stop for something to eat, before continuing towards the Prosecco road.
San Pietro di Feletto, on Prosecco road
The panorama that has opened has led us to have a stop and take some pictures. We have been up into the “Pieve di San Pietro”, located on a panoramic hill. From here you can enjoy a great view of the hills, completely covered by the Prosecco vineyards.
The church has frescoes from different periods both outside and inside. Isolated rises the Romanesque bell tower.
Molinetto della Croda, in the heart of Prosecco lands
It is a characteristic example of rural architecture of the seventeenth century, whose foundations is on the bare rock (“croda” of the mountain).
The water mill has been restored and is still functioning. During Christmas season there is a nice exhibition of cribs from all over the world.
To enjoy the place, in addition to visiting the mill, it is advisable to go to the back from where you can see the mill area from above.
Towards the lakes Revine and Santa Croce
Arrived at the pass take a stop to look at some old photos at the bar / restaurant and some information on the construction of the galleries.
Let’s go back on our steps, and drive to the lakes of Revine where remains of prehistoric stilt houses have been found, with the archaeological park of Livelet.
