Campagna Lupia between Nature and Culture

Campagna Lupia is ideal for you if you want to combine natural areas, lagoon history and regional culture in one travel plan. The themes range from protected wetlands and medieval architecture to cheese production at an educational farm. If you are looking for a hotel in Campagna Lupia, you can therefore base your decision on the interests that should shape your days: nature, cycling, history or local food.

Valle Averto and the Lagoon Landscape

One defining natural area is Valle Averto. Valle Averto is the Oasi WWF state nature reserve within the Special Protection Area IT3250030 and the Special Conservation Area IT3250046. The area covers approximately 200 hectares and includes extensive brackish-water areas, reed beds, wet meadows, moisture-loving woodland and canals. The island of Cason Torson is also located in the vicinity of Campagna Lupia. In the wider regional surroundings of Campagna Lupia are the island of Campana, Spiaggia Lungomare d'Annunzio beach and the island of Fisolo.

Santa Maria di Lugo: Church and Museum

The Chiesa Santa Maria di Lugo has a square bell tower in the late Romanesque style. Decorative motifs can be found on all four façades. The church was probably built in the second half of the 13th century. The archaeological museum of Campagna Lupia is located inside the Chiesa Santa Maria di Lugo. This makes the site a clearly defined cultural focus combining architectural history and archaeology.

MUSTELA and the Material Culture of the Lagoon

The MUSTELA Museo del territorio della laguna di Venezia is dedicated to researching, preserving, communicating and exhibiting material evidence of people and their environment. Its collection includes objects and tools from material culture and ethnography connected with fishing, hunting and related activities in the lagoon. The museum site was established in part of the former municipal school in Lova, Campagna Lupia.

Cycling to Valle Averto

A direct connection to the lagoon landscape is offered by the cycling tour from Dolo to Valle Averto. It follows Via Argine Destro Novissimo to Campagna Lupia and passes through the Canale di Lugo into the lagoon before reaching Valle Averto. This route is particularly interesting for you if you want to combine Campagna Lupia with a cycling tour and the lagoon's landscapes.

Cheese and Agricultural Learning

The Vaccheria di Campagna Lupia is an educational farm. Visitors can observe dairy cows up close, learn the secrets of cheese production and taste some types of cheese. This visit complements the cultural and natural themes with a direct insight into agricultural work and regional food.

Additional Museums in the Surrounding Area

The Monastero Delle Agostiniane monastery is located in the vicinity of Campagna Lupia. The wider regional surroundings of Campagna Lupia also include the Ecomuseo le Terre del Brenta, Villa Breda Museum and Museo Antoniano.
