ブレッビア周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

ティチーノ川は、イタリア北部とスイス南部で最も重要な水路の1つです。水の量ではポー川の主要な支流であり、平均流量ではイタリアで2番目に大きい川です。全長248kmで、イタリアで最も健康的で保存状態の良い川の1つと見なされています。

ティチーノ川沿いの最も有名で人気のある道と遊歩道は、セスト・カレンデにあり、鉄の橋からゴラセッカまで約3.5キロメートルにわたって蛇行しています。

注意、E-Bikeの場合、2026年夏は長引く干ばつにもかかわらず南からのアクセスは不可能です。アプローチは草が生い茂り、脚が引っかき傷だらけになりました。ハードコアなマウンテンバイカーにとってはハイライトかもしれませんが、普通のバイカーにはお勧めできません。タバコ博物館経由で迂回することをお勧めします。

Convenient, protected connection. Interesting views of the railway bridge and old factories, now, I fear, abandoned to their fate.

Cycle path legacy of the World Championships.

A beautiful glacial lake. Water lilies bloom in season.

Barrier-free concrete bridge to cross the stream, convenient for entering the woods

Santa Caterina del Sasso, Leggiuno Santa Caterina del Sasso Ballaro (actually Eremo di Santa Catarina del Sasso Ballara) was originally a hermitage. It is now located in the Italian municipality of Leggiuno in the province of Varese. In the 13th century, Dominicans converted the building into a monastery. This is a destination for many pilgrimages. It is located directly on Lake Maggiore and, like many former hermitages, is built on a rock in a location that is difficult to access. Construction began in the early 13th century, but the main work dates back to around 1300/1320. The core of the complex is the small church dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. The nickname "del sasso" means that the building stands on a rock; "Sasso Ballaro" refers to a rockslide in 1640 that caused significant damage. "Sasso ballaro" roughly translates as "wobbly rock." According to tradition, the merchant Alberto Besozzi founded the monastery after he had successfully survived a shipwreck on the lake. He later became a hermit and is buried in the church. In 1230, Dominicans built the small convent and oratory. Around 1450, additional staircases were added to connect the individual parts of the building. In the following centuries, the monastery was rebuilt and expanded several times to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims. The 14th-century church tower is still Romanesque. The Renaissance decorations on the current façade date from the 15th century, the numerous frescoes in the former refectory, the arcade, and the church date from the 14th to 17th centuries, and the paintings in the church are Baroque. Due to the steep slope and the difficult subsoil, the interior of the church is shaped to follow the curve of the mountain. It is richly frescoed, although moisture damage has destroyed significant portions of the paintings. The frescoes date primarily from the 16th century and were further enhanced with floral motifs in the 17th century. At the center of the church stands the sarcophagus of the founder, the hermit Alberto. In the courtyard separating the church from the convent building stands an old wine press dating from 1769.
