The GPX and KML are formats that allow the transfer of georeferenced data between different media.

On this website the GPX and KML files—available for free download—contain one track for file: the route displayed and presented in that specific page.

A GPX file can contain tracks, routes and points of interest with their geographic coordinates. Is compatible with almost all GPS devices, such as browsers and smartphones with GPS satellite dish, as well as software and websites for displaying the paths on the computer screen.

Loading the tracks in GPX file to a portable device, you can walk them step by step with the ability to check at any moment your position and distance from arrival or points of interest (in this regard please read the terms and conditions of use).

KML file is used mainly on Google Earth and Google Maps: he can be also displayed on your computer with Google Earth software and allows you to have a live preview of the route, even in 3D.

Each of the two formats can be converted to another through special programs or online tools like gpsvisualizer.com.

Starting point: Villaga, park close to the church

Length: 15 km (3-4 hours)

This mixed route of 15km represent the path of the FIASP Sunday morning non-competitive march or volkmarch of Villaga, 2015 Edition (Fifth Marcia dei Bujeli).

 

The proposed route runs between the green valley of Villaga, the beautiful medieval village of Toara, touches the charming plateau of Pozzolo and arrives on Monte Tondo Hill to enjoy the view of the valley below and the Euganean Hills.

 

The sporting event, which takes place annually usually on the first Sunday of March, wants to rebuild the “brusamarzo”, the rural ritual with which until not long ago, in late February and early March, the citizens celebrated the overcoming of winter by lighting fires (also called “bujeli”) through the fields or hills. The bonfires illuminated the darkness symbolizing the victory of light over the long winter nights and the warmth on the cold, they also had a function and meaning as purifiers with a good omen for the new season. In any refreshment point of the march, in memory of this tradition, there is a small little fire or “bujelo”. The bujeli and refreshment are, of course, prepared just on the occasion of the March, once a year.
