– Colle San Zeno Lamone – Origlio
Proposal 3: Option Colle San Zeno of Lamone and Lake of Origlio
Itinerary with wide panoramic views both from the top of the San Zeno hill and around the beautiful Origlio lake.
Colle San Zeno of Lamone and Lake of Origlio
This itinerary can start from the train station of Lamone-Cadempino, first reaching the core of Lamone, where you can enter the hill-walking routes. After crossing the beautiful centre, with a high difference in altitude, you climb to the top of the San Zeno hill, first by an paved road and then by a hiking trail. At the top, it is worth stopping not only for the 360-degree open view, but also to discover the cup-marked stones, the small biotope and just below the cave. You then descend more gradually on the other side, along a mule track from where in some points you can see the small lake of Origlio from above. You enter the village passing by the beautiful church of S. Giorgio, a protected building inscribed as a historical monument, and then descending into the centre, from where you then follow a path that goes around the lake, which is a naturalistic gem inhabited also by protected species. Once you have crossed the Magi district you return to the lake shore; you will then find the crossroads with a stretch of path to go back to Lamone going down a rather steep road, and in some panoramic points.
