Thematic Itineraries in Lagoni di Mercurago Park
You can visit Lagoni di Mercurago Park following its 30 km of trails of dirt roads. You will have several visiting opportunities: strolling around the various environments of the Park or choosing the recommended thematic itineraries, marked by special signs.
This choice will give you the possibility to appreciate and thoroughly discover the naturalistic aspects and the aspects linked to past and present human activities characterizing Lagoni Park.
"Percorso azzurro" (blue trail) explores wetlands, "percorso rosso" (red trail) the woods, "percorso viola" (violet trail) will lead you to the archaeological sites and "percorso arancione" (orange trail) to discover which kind of production activities are carried out in the Park. In 2003 the itinerary called "Dal parco tutt'intorno" was inaugurated: by car or by bike, you can visit some Municipalities around the Park and their historical and archaeological aspects.

In Lagoni di Mercurago Park...
You can leave from the Headquarters/Visitor Center, where there is a parking area and a fountain of drinking water, facing a rather tiring climb of about 300 meters, or from the residential area called "Ranch 67" in Oleggio Castello, to get in both cases to the beginning of the trail "Strà Canevra".
... and in Fondotoce Special Nature Reserve
