ヴェネゴーノインフェリオアの湖・トップ13

magical enchanted place with a view of the Monte Rosa group and lots of wildlife

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.

The fauna is typically aquatic: red frogs and toads come every year to reproduce and for some years there have also been one or two pairs of mallards.

Walking along the LP/847 path from Beregazzo in the direction of Appiano Gentile, after passing the Ca' Bianca farmhouse, you come across the pond of the same name on the left. To observe it better, it is best to turn left onto path 846, which partly runs along its banks. The Ca' Bianca pond, among the largest in the Pineta Park, is home to a rich population of water lilies, which bloom beautifully in summer. Along the banks, on the northernmost side, cattails and other aquatic plants also grow.

Quiet and green place with water birds and animals. From the wooden pier, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Campo dei Fiori. Accessible from the Lake Cycle Path. The small port of Capolago offers a spectacular view of Lake Varese and the local fauna.
