Caorle Lagoon
One of the most beautiful excursions is to the Caorle lagoon. The lagoon is accessible by motorboat along the wide canals or by bicycle, and here it is possible to see the Casoni, traditional fishermen huts. The cason features a fireplace at the centre of the house and the floorboards are in brick or packed dirt. In order to build the houses, the fishermen used materials which could easily be retrieved from the area, such as common reeds. Some casoni are open to the public so visitors can experience the atmosphere of that time. The Caorle lagoon, which was dear to writer and 1954 literary Nobel prize winner Ernest Hemingway, is described in his book "Across the River and into the Trees".
