Rank : 8.0 (average on 5 votes)

Coordinates : 45.578116,8.705763 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Great place for macro: you can find the main orders of inept and are very abundant dragonflies and butterflies (many Pieridae and Lycaenidae) and spiders (most Argiope bruennichi). Reptiles and amphibians: Natrix tessellata, Lacerta bilineata, Podarcis muralis, frogs (seen only in passing). Birds: Coot, Great Crested Grebe, Cormorant, Jay, Long-tailed Tit and other (update the list if I see other species).

Recommended equipment : The macro is a must. Surely even a telephoto lens for a wide angle for landscapes and birds will not hurt, but you can easily get away with just macro and tripod, taking home a lot of satisfaction.

Best months : Spring and summer are definitely the best times, because the place is suitable mainly for macro photography.

How to get there : Take exit Oleggio-Busto Arsizio of SS336. The output leads to a large roundabout flyover, if you arrive from the north, take the first right, if coming from the south you have to turn left (third exit). Go straight until the next roundabout, go straight to what you need. Less than 500 meters after the roundabout, the road curves right and begins a gentle downhill: you have to take the downhill road that you find on your left at the corner, you can not miss, is the only street that you find on the left just after the roundabout. The road continues downhill, and after a curve to the left, you will cross a bridge. Continue straight ahead until you reach another bridge, after which you will find a dirt parking lot (above the point marked on the map, is precisely the parking lot). From here walk towards the south-east (ie leaving behind the way you came). You can choose to walk along the canal or still active in the dry (in my opinion much more interesting and rich subjects).

Visits : The area is freely accessible to anyone at any time.
