Embark on a moderate hiking loop from Garbagnate Parco delle Groane, tracing the historic Villoresi Canal and the tranquil Lombra Stream. This 6.5-mile (10.5 km) route features a gentle elevation gain of 143 feet (44 metres) and typically takes about 2 hours and 41 minutes to complete. You will experience varied terrain, from pedestrian and cycle paths winding through cultivated fields to dense forests and open moorlands, offering a rich mosaic of natural scenery.
Planning your visit, be aware that the trail is best suited for individuals with good fitness due to its moderate classification. The path along the Lombra Stream can become slippery and muddy after rain, so consider appropriate footwear, especially in wet conditions. The route is accessible and provides a refreshing escape into nature, making it a great option for a half-day outing.
This loop is a fantastic way to discover the diverse ecosystems of the Parco delle Groane, a significant nature reserve near Milan. You will walk alongside the Villoresi Canal, an 85-kilometer-long artificial waterway built in the late 19th century for irrigation, highlighting the region's historical ingenuity. The trail offers an immersive natural experience, with sections along the Lombra feeling wonderfully secluded from urban life.
