Stunning place in all seasons of the year

Interesting caves along a well-maintained cycle path

In the Lanza Park - beautiful! Let's hope they complete it as soon as possible up to the old Valmorea station, which at the moment can be reached but along the old "track side" section

The Malnate caves are located in the heart of the Lanza valley park. They are very ancient sandstone quarries: in fact they date back to 25 million years ago, when they originated on the seabed. In the past they were used for the extraction of sandstone blocks, today they are recognized as natural and cultural heritage.

Ruins of a small cave castle, clearly visible and with exposed access in the rock walls north of Mendrisio. A straight, three-story wall closes the natural cave. The main openings and probably the namesake are a high entrance and two windows. There is a cast iron window above the climb. Several embrasures and light hatches have been preserved. According to architectural criteria, the castle dates back to the 15th century. It probably served as a defensive refuge for a local leadership group. The Tanùn (Tanone), another cave on the ascent, which is closed off with a low wall, was probably related to Tri Böcc. An at least indirect connection is conceivable with the grotto hermitage of San Nicolao, which, according to tradition, was built by Loterio Rusca in 1413 in a higher rock echelon.

asphalted, usable by anyone!
