ソルビアーテオローナの湖・トップ7

Very nice, I will definitely do it in the next few days,

A real pond, with placid waters that reflect the forest... in which - if you look carefully - a little turtle lives!

The "Rile-Tenore-Olona" (RTO) is a Local Park of Supra-municipal Interest (PLIS) established in 2006 between eight founding municipalities and subsequently joined by four others in the province of Varese. Covering over 25 square kilometers, the park embraces valley floors, hillsides and plains, taking its name from the main waterways: Rile, Tenore and Olona. The management of the PLIS has been entrusted to the Pineta di Appiano Gentile e Tradate regional park since 2019, in line with the reorganization of the Lombardy protected area management system. Castiglione Olona assumes the role of Convention Head in the management of the PLIS.

Look at the hole! Let's hope they restore everything soon

Beautiful Pond💧Madonnetta Surrounded by Many Pines🌲

Large plantation of strobi pines (Pinus strobus) owned by the Proverbio carpentry shop, based in the Saronnese area. The plantation was built in the 1950s and 1960s by the Vita-Mayer paper mill in Cairate, whose owners lived in the nearby Abbiate. Following the bankruptcy of that industry in 1977, the plantation was taken over by the current owners. After more than sixty years, this artificial forest is still immediately distinguishable by the alignment of the strobi rows and their dominance over the other tree species thanks to the conspicuous shading produced by the foliage, a factor that determines the almost total absence of undergrowth.

Foppa is a wetland near the Olona river that flooded naturally. Here the water that irrigated the meadows once accumulated. Today the Foppa is fed with river water. Foppa, the nearby meadows and woods are ideal habitats for fauna. Since 2009 the municipality of San Vittore Olona in collaboration with the Olona Viva association, the Olona River Consortium and the Parco dei Mulini has restored the wetland area from "La Foppa". Foppa is fed with water from the Olona river through the Bellona canal. Today this body of water and the surrounding green areas, a forest and a meadow are home to a rich biodiversity of fauna and flora. In this area LIPU has spotted 90 different species of birds. A small wetland area like Foppa is of fundamental importance for migratory species that travel thousands of kilometers twice a year to return to breed or to winter; and sometimes they stop to feed in this very place. Not just birds. At Foppa there are also fish and other animals that feed on the eggs and larvae of aquatic insects; that's why there are so few mosquitoes!
