I don't know if I would recommend this walk.. in the sense that the part near the lake is very pretty and in the shade.. excellent for me as I walk with dogs.. but the part of the path is poorly maintained.. I ended up among brambles and I I've lost count of the cobwebs.. with this I'm not saying that the walk shouldn't be done.. but rather to encourage those who are responsible for maintaining these paths to take care of that stretch too.. because if that were the case it would really be a simple walk.. nothing particularly challenging in short in nature.. but not the wild kind 😂

Building built in 1200 on top of the hill. The church is dedicated to the holy child Quiric who was martyred in the town of Tarsus in Cilicia at the time of the Roman emperor Diocletian. Panorama of Lake Maggiore and towards Campo dei Fiori.

One of the most beautiful tree-lined avenues in the Varese area. It flows onto the SP69 (Angera-Ispra) and connects La Quassa and further on, the long lake of Ispra. I recommend gravel bikes.
