Self-guided Nature Itinerary

Panel

The second nature trail, called "Una Riserva nel Verde", is situated in the north-eastern part of the Reserve. It begins from the picnic area in location Ronco di Ghiffa to climb the exercise course and descend towards the small chapel of Madonna del Porale. From the small chapel of Porale, a panoramic alternative route with a considerable difference in height leads you, running along the foot of Mt. Cargiago, up to panoramic points near Streghe small lake. The following naturalistic elements you will find along the route are of particular interest:

  • conifer wood
  • geology and morphology
  • life after the fire
  • panoramic point
  • oak and chestnut coppice wood
  • life in the wood.

Length of the nature itinerary: about 2 hours and 30 minutes.


Accessible Trail in the Monumental Area

The ongoing project includes the creation of itineraries for disabled and blind people with the possibility of visiting monuments and going along the forest road towards Ca' del Bosco.
