Presentation of the Itinerary
Walking surrounded by nature, smelling scents and hearing noises, perceiving colors and shapes, and enjoying staying in places where the past has left evident signs… All this is probably pleasant enough for you, but why don’t you try to walk slowly and to look around carefully?
To the careful and curious observer, this guidebook aims at being a fellow
walker that can help them read the many messages left by nature and the signs
left by men.
All the Area Natura paths leave from Cossogno, a small municipality 2 km north of Verbania. |
