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.

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.

Here you cross the Toscio stream, with its waterfalls and placid pools, inside which it is possible to see small newts. There is a small picnic area. From the Abbey of S. Pietro al Monte the route is simple, does not require equipment and there is a beautiful stretch in the middle of the forest on a slight slope. If you intend to continue, however, the difference in altitude will take a surge, 300m in about 1km, with sections that require a hint of climbing.

Small bridge over the Lambro river where there are waterfalls. It is surrounded by old houses with small gardens perched on the banks. A little further on stands the old building of the Brescia Textile Industries of Merone.

The oasis of Baggero was a pleasant surprise, a beautiful landscape and an interesting route with sometimes challenging passages. Along the way there are panoramic points of the lakes, bridges to cross, streams and hear hear even a waterfall. The complete tour also has an interesting difference in height, in short, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!

A small bridge crosses a stream carved into the rock, a suggestive corner that makes you forget that you are just a few meters from the city.
