Of historical interest the Church of S. Fedelino is located along the ancient route of the Via Regina which also leads further north to the ruins of the ancient Roman port of Samolaco (there are only a few stones hardly recognizable where at the time there was the lake and today there is The plain of Valchiavenna). Interesting views also in the "Pozzo di Riva" (Lake north of Novate connected by a canal to the largest basin), enchanting but disfigured by the pollution caused by the industrialization of the post-war period.Recommended equipment : Depending on the interest (landscape or fauna). For walking explorations recommended light equipment given the steep paths in the surrounding woods.Best months : At the landscape level fall, winter and spring offer different possibilities and show different environments. In winter typically shallow water, the dry or blind branches of the river freeze forming large smooth stretches surrounded by typically whitewashed panoramas; In spring explosion of green and higher water; Autumn warm colors and morning mists create suggestive scenery. Traditional Lake Avifauna in all seasons, sort of passing in winter. Herds of deer only in the winter, at night, constantly monitored by environmental guards descend to the lake.How to get there : The park is flanked by the SS36 (Milano-Lecco-Spluga). Train stations at Colico and Verceia (line Lecco-Tirano to Colico, then Colico-Chiavenna for Verceia). The surroundings are also well equipped for tourist reception throughout the year thanks to the arrival of several foreign tourists in summer and skiers who flock to the nearby Valtellina and Valchiavenna the winter.Visits : Regulated protected Area. In Some areas access is restricted or allowed only accompanied by guides. For those wishing to explore the area by canoe/kayak or other small boat (motor navigation is strictly regulated) around the area of greater protection of yellow buoys limit the area within which the passage is banned even in canoes. Recommended itineraries and rough map of the area available on the park's official website. You can easily find MTB or simple canoe rental activities.Notes : For the winter, despite the low altitude, at this point the temperature is stiff (more than on the rest of the Lario).
