Lake Gaiano was once one with Lake Endine. Then, according to geologists, millennia ago the Borlezza Stream, continually excavating its bed, created a dividing rise to the east, at the level of the current Cava Cantamessa, creating the two lakes. The lake is small and particularly muddy to the east, with a large reed bed. From here, the Oneto Stream flows, flowing through the small plain before flowing into the Borlezza River at Pianico, its tributary. It is shallow and hosts several species of aquatic birds, depending on the season. A beautiful cycle/pedestrian path has been created on the southern side of the lake, along pre-existing paths, allowing visitors to safely enjoy the beauty of the area. Almost parallel to the lake, but further east and below the slopes of Monte Na, is the Valle del Freddo, separated from the lake by a small wooded ridge.

This pedestrian and cycle bridge allows you to safely cross the Oglio River while enjoying the view.

This complex, also known as the Sanctuary of the Annunciation, is located in a splendid panoramic position overlooking the valley and is a site of great historical, artistic, and spiritual interest. Founded in the 15th century, the Sanctuary is a notable example of Lombard late Gothic architecture. The convent is run by the Capuchin Friars and is particularly linked to the figure of Blessed Innocenzo da Berzo, whose cell-museum is open to visitors.

Here you'll find a group of engraved monoliths (engraved stone blocks) dating back to the Copper Age (about 4,500 years ago, or the 3rd millennium BC). These stelae were part of an important ceremonial and megalithic site, where rituals were held. They are characterized by engravings depicting celestial symbols, animals, weapons (such as Remedello-type daggers), and stylized human faces, sometimes with decorative elements such as pendants and collars. The original stelae have been removed for conservation reasons and are on display at the MUPRE (National Museum of Prehistory of Valle Camonica) in Capo di Ponte. Reproductions are visible here.

Nice, historic, relaxing...a beautiful ride along the Oglio cycle path.

Stone bridge with nice views around. The river was brown due to heavy rain some hours earlier.

nice spot along the cycle path

To reach Montecchio di Darfo, starting from Boario, you cross the so-called "Roman bridge." It is a scenic 24-meter, single-span bridge, built from blocks of granite and Simona stone in 1686, over the remains of an older bridge that connected the medieval castle on Monticolo to the opposite bank of the river. It has been recognized as a national monument.
