The river Sile, about 95 km long, is a resurgence watercourse. The area of resurgences, despite the considerable changes it has undergone over the centuries, includes characteristic natural elements, like: springs ("fontanassi"), small lakes and marshy areas, peat bogs, and a thick network of watercourses. Besides the characteristic vegetation of the wet meadows and the resurgence veins (Carex, Cirsium, Caltha palustris, Iris pseudacorus), there are often isolated trees and small forests, the relicts of a past covering characterized by the hygrophilous facies of the plain forest consisting of poplars, willows, alders, oaks, elms, maples, etc.

The Peat Bog |
|
| Peat is a vegetal and mainly organic material forming in water basins of various nature and size or in very wet environments, as the result of an incomplete transformation of dead vegetal remains, in conditions of water saturation and consequent anaerobiosis. The natural environments where the peat usually deposits are called "peat bogs".

Sile Springs |

| Sile is without a doubt the main symbol of the Marca; its course crosses Treviso, influencing its urban plan and characterizing the panorama. Moreover, along its banks the rural culture of the whole province was born and has developed. That's why it can be interesting to visit its springs, called "i Fontanassi di Casacorba". They are situated within Sile protected area and represent without a doubt an interesting destination for adults and kids.
