The course, held since ancient times, spread to about two kilometers sull'argine left of the river Sile. It served the transit of horse that dragged the barges upstream through the ropes, said reste, which derives its name to remain, still preserved in folk tradition. The river was, until a few decades ago, the main route of transportation of goods and materials from Venice to Treviso (and vice versa), ie from sea to land.
