Sile / Taglio del Sile / Piave Veccia
Veneto 
Suitable for a boat holiday ****
























River Sile
was, after the Second World War already navigable from Treviso. Today, the pleasure starts a bit further down, at the lock of Silea. Soon, the nice little town of Casier turns up. A big house boat hirer is located there. Unfortunately also here, some of the landlords ask prices like the Venetians on the Piazza San Marco. We therefore recommend tying up at the very nice quay of Casale sul Sile. Right at the quay is a well known, expensive but very good Trattoria, at the south end of town is a very comfortable and favourable Pizzeria which we can warmly recommend. The pub at Quarto d'Altino is for years already "closed for a short time", with luck, one finds a tie up possibility in front of the lock of Portegrandi and a chair in the restaurant. Then, on the Taglio del Sile, one enjoys a fantastic view onto the northern Laguna of Venice, a dream!
We now approach the pontoon bridge of Caposile, which is actually always opened but not always immediately! Shortly afterwards comes the turn off for those, who want to continue to the east and the Laguna di Marano, the southern branch passes Jesolo to the lock of Cavallino or into the Gulf of Venice. Warning: You have to be aware of a strong current on the head water until Quarto d'Altino.
Piave veccia
this connection to the Piave at Musile is a real paradise, the small Ristorante at Chiesanuova is awaiting us with a tiny garden. The lock to the Piave should be approached cautiously, this supplies by the way for the entire connection.
