Loria: Trails along the Muson and culture in Bessica

If you choose Loria as your destination, you can combine days outdoors with an insight into local history. There are various points of interest along the Muson and in Bessica: an extensive cycling and walking route, a nature park, as well as exhibitions, a church, and a monument. This allows you to include exercise, scenery, and culture side by side in your travel plans.

Cycling and walking route along the Muson

The “Sui Sentieri degli Ezzelini” tourist route along the Muson is 40 kilometres long in total. The cycling and walking route runs mainly along the Torrente Muson and partly along the Musonello. Its route passes through the municipalities of Riese Pio X, Loria, Castello di Godego, Castelfranco Veneto, Resana, Crespano del Grappa, Paderno del Grappa, Fonte, and Asolo. If you are considering cycling and walking stages for your trip, the total length will help you assess the scale of the undertaking and plan your days accordingly. When planning individual day stages, you can consider the different municipalities as changes in local areas without losing sight of the total length.

Nature park and access to the hiking trail

Loria has a nature park on the former riverbed of the Muson. North of Parco sul Muson, there is a municipal car park providing access to the hiking trail. You can reach it via an unpaved access road from Via Monte Santo. The condition of this access road is one of the practical points of orientation to consider when preparing a stay involving walks or hikes along the Muson. During walks along the former riverbed, you can regard the nature park and the car park to the north as separate points of reference. The unpaved access road from Via Monte Santo is also relevant for arrival.

Fiera Bessica and Villa Baroni

Fiera Bessica includes an Area Artigianato in the multipurpose area behind the church. Fiera Bessica also includes an exhibition of agricultural models at Villa Baroni. This gives you two distinct areas of focus when choosing what interests you: craft presentations and agricultural models.

Monumento ai Caduti in Bessica

The Monumento ai Caduti in Bessica is located in a green space opposite the Chiesa Arcipretale di San Giovanni Battista. It was inaugurated in 1924 and restored in 2018; missing parts were also replaced during the restoration. The pedestal is made of unfinished stone with white marble slabs. A rock structure with four sculptural elements stands on it.

A cross-shaped memorial plaque bears the names of the soldiers who died in the First World War. Three further plaques name the missing soldiers, those who fell for their homeland, and the civilians who lost their lives in the war from 1940 to 1945. If you want to approach a place’s history through its architecture, materials, and inscriptions, this monument in Bessica offers several concrete perspectives for observation.
