follow the path that continues beyond to cross the three peaks of the pyramids

Horns to visit linked

Certainly the most beautiful place to stop on a tour of Curone.

To reach Secondo Corno, you generally start from Galbiate, following the Via dell'Oliva to a car park located at about 345 metres above sea level. From here, the path climbs steeply through the woods, leading to Primo Corno (768 metres), continues with a short descent to Secondo Corno (791 metres), and finally descends to Terzo Corno (820 metres) before reaching the summit of Monte Barro (922 metres). The route is suitable for hikers with good physical preparation and offers an immersive experience in nature, with the possibility of observing a rich biodiversity and enjoying unique panoramic views. It is particularly appreciated in spring and autumn, when the climate is mild and the vegetation is particularly lush. For further details on the route and the characteristics of Secondo Corno, you can consult the official website of the Parco del Monte Barro.

Be careful, it is forbidden to ride a bike from the top of the cypress trees. If the guards (who are looking through binoculars) catch you, you will be fined. In itself, it is worth going up on foot. The place is shrouded in legend. The hill of the cypress trees, a sort of natural sanctuary surrounded by 12 cypress trees. In 2001, through aerial surveys, a very bizarre coincidence was noticed. The area has 3 stepped pyramids, of equal slope, arranged quite close together, as if to simulate an astronomical observatory or a sacred-religious place. The first of the three pyramids is precisely that of the cypresses. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy a beautiful view, there is a sort of small stone altar and it is already a good place to take some photographs. Then you begin to gently descend along path 11 and you can reach the second of the pyramids of Montevecchia, the pyramid of Belvedere Cereda. It is a bare pyramid, very suggestive that allows you to observe the Curone park from the highest point. It is thought that the Celts used the pyramid as an astronomical observatory.

very special, I recommend it to see

The Fontana del Guercio Reserve in Carugo, Como, has 14 springs, potentially of Celtic origin, with the Testa del Nan among the main Lombard fountains. The reserve includes woodlands, agricultural areas and is a refuge for various botanical and animal species, in particular the crayfish, giving it the status of Site of Community Interest. Accessible via trekking paths and cycle paths, the reserve can be reached by car or bus from the Como–Inverigo–Cantù line, starting from via Valsorda, near the hamlet of Sant'Isidoro – Carugo.

from Monte Barro you can enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding lakes
