8000 meters
The loop path starts from Pasian di Prato, at the end of Via del Molino, near the Municipal Warehouse, where there are no parking stalls, but it is possible to park in the immediate vicinity of the information panel of the 10,000 steps (photo 1), corresponding to the beginning of the path. You proceed in the opposite direction to the center of Pasian di Prato. The path begins on a dirt road with a homogeneous surface (photo 2-3). After about 800 m (photo 4), there is an intersection where you continue straight alongside the fields (photo 5).
After 1.6 km from the start, there is a sign indicating a left turn, proceeding on a dirt road between a forest on the right and fields on the left (photo 6). This section, recently maintained, has a surface of compacted gravel (photo 7-8). After 2.6 km, you reach an intersection where there is a sign for a right turn (photo 9-10).
3 km from the start, you cross the Lavia ford, currently dry and in perfect walking conditions (photo 11).
After walking 3.2 km, there is another intersection where there is a sign indicating to go straight (photo 12).
At 3.5 km, there is another sign indicating to continue straight (photo 13).
At 4 km from the start, there is another indication. The road has an asphalt surface and runs alongside a populated area where there is another information panel for the 10,000 steps (photo 14). This leads to the hamlet of Colloredo di Prato. You continue on an asphalt road near a factory and a group of houses (photo 15) on a low traffic road without a sidewalk.
You then reach a busier road with a sidewalk (via D’Antoni). Turn right for a few meters, where there is a pedestrian crossing, after which you return to the left, near the store "Antonutti Emporio Vini" (photo 16-17). At the corner, there is a sign indicating to follow the paved road (via Lazio), with a sidewalk present only for a stretch (also narrow and at times unusable, photos 18-19).
At 4.5 km from the start, you reach a dirt road again, after passing some houses (presence of a sign) (photos 20-21).
A few meters ahead, after passing a house (photo 22-23), the sign indicates to turn right (photo 24). The path, with a natural surface, runs alongside a road with high traffic intensity (photo 25-26). In some sections, the route is damaged by rain and heavy agricultural vehicles (photo 27).
After traveling 5.1 km, supported by timely signage (photo 28), one moves away from the busy road and continues along the path until reaching an area where gym facilities are set up, available for those who wish to use them, and subsequently to a group of sports fields (via Friuli, photo 29).
In this stretch, the bed of the Lavia stream is followed (photo 30).
After 5.5 km, past the sports fields, you arrive at a paved road, but you immediately turn left onto a dirt path towards the chapel of Madonna dei Roveri (photo 31). After leaving the church, you continue along the paved bike path (photo 32-33), which runs alongside the provincial road, and after traveling 5.8 km, you find an information panel and a sign indicating to turn left back onto a natural surface road (photo 34).
You proceed parallel to the industrial area for 1 km. This stretch among the fields, away from traffic è linear and well-defined, the ground in some places è heavy due to rain and the passage of agricultural vehicles (photo 35-36).
Continuing, you approach some factories (photo 37-38).
At the 7° km you leave the dirt road, and move onto a short asphalted stretch that runs alongside some factories (Bartolini) (photo 39). A sign indicates to continue straight and cross the road, which has high traffic intensity, without a pedestrian crossing.
Crossing the road, you arrive at a dirt path where there is an information panel (photos 40 and 41). This last part of the route develops among the fields (photos 42-43), towards houses and rural structures (photos 44-45), near the village of Pasian di Prato.
After 7.8 km, you reach the cemetery of Pasian di Prato (photo 46) on an asphalt road, equipped with a sidewalk (photo 47). After passing the cemetery, we find another sign indicating to continue straight. You cross the road (pedestrian crossing present) (photo 48) and continue towards the Civil Protection Center (photo 49).
After a few more meters (photo 50), you return towards the area of the Municipal Warehouse and to the starting point, closing the loop (photo 51).
