サンタマリアオエの滝・トップ6

Beautiful waterfalls to see; also the village that is born around it is very nice

Great place to stop

It is a wonderful protected nature reserve created from the redevelopment of an old mining site. The two lakes, in fact, arise in the old marl extraction excavations. The cycle/pedestrian paths develop within a protected area of high landscape value. It is therefore best to avoid behaviors that could cause damage to the balance of the environment and not to go off the marked paths. The intense rains of recent months have put this area to the test. In fact, we managed to get to the waterfall but were unable to take the road that goes around the lakes because it was interrupted by a landslide. From official channels always check that the route is accessible.

The Baggero Oasis is the result of the environmental recovery of a large area previously used for mining, located between the municipalities of Merone, Monguzzo, Lambrugo and Lurago d'Erba. Started in 1970, the redevelopment process led to the creation of two lakes in old marl extraction excavations. The area offers pedestrian paths, cycle paths, a children's play area and an innovative Stellar Oasis for astronomical observation. The old cement plant warehouse was converted into a "Park Center" inaugurated in 2015, equipped with classrooms, conference room and a hostel with bar/refreshment area. The Baggero Oasis is also a starting point for exploring the Lambro Valley Park, offering initiatives to experience and discover the natural beauty of the area. It is located in Merone, with access from via Cesare Battisti.

A waterfall that flows unexpectedly from the wall.

Unexpected waterfall that comes out directly from the rock wall

Small characteristic bridge where it is possible to see the waterfalls of the lambro river. The surrounding houses are also particular; it seems time has stopped here.
