ロザーテの湖・トップ4

Unexpected countryside views just a stone's throw from the city

Oasis of peace and tranquility a few km from Milan

mill lake

First farmhouse once you leave the provincial road towards Gaggiano. It is also characterized by the small lake and the beginning of a dirt road that passes behind the Merlin quarry and that, if the weather is dry, can also be done with a road bike.

This group of lakes was formed around 1975 and the artificial basins are the result of the recovery of as many extraction quarries for aggregates. It has been so neglected by man in the past that it has "suffered" a natural repopulation of some animal and floral species, which have found their oasis here to live in peace, reproduce or find shelter. The lake is home to royal pheasants, seagulls and mallards and, in times of migration, is the home of some pairs of white storks. This place can be reached starting from Zibido towards Gaggiano on a cycle path.

In this farmhouse, in addition to buying excellent products, you will find free grazing cows at certain times. The particularity of this place lies in the mill with finely decorated wooden blades. It was in fact a hunting lodge of the Sforzas in the 1400s. You will also find a small lake with a Nordic-style house made of wood. In the middle of this house there is an oak tree which was not cut down when it was decided to build the house because the owners didn't have the "courage" to cut it down...and now it has grown and casts a shadow!

The lake is a 35 hectare renaturalised artificial basin (recovered quarry). It is characterized by the presence of particularly rich avifauna and ichthyofauna (around 180 species of birds find refuge in the environment around the lake).

large park, very clean and well-kept. Too bad that the thick vegetation prevents you from enjoying the view of the lake of the quarry and the lake of sport fishing
