Top 3 Lakes around Vellezzo Bellini

The Lago di Basiglio is one of the most important bodies of water created from former quarries in the province of Milan, located within the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano. This artificial basin covers approximately 26 hectares and has been completely re-naturalized to become a protected oasis and an ideal refuge for local fauna and migratory birds.

A fantastic dirt bike path that could be explored later, perhaps with greenery and without the puddles that were present today.

Oasis of peace and tranquility a few km from Milan

mill lake

Typical place of the Lombardy plain in a protected and easy path. Accessible to everyone.

In this small city park there are some paths perfect for walking or cycling in complete tranquility in the urban greenery. The park is crossed by the Vernavola canal, and there is also a small pond.

This group of lakes was formed around 1975 and the artificial basins are the result of the recovery of as many extraction quarries for aggregates. It has been so neglected by man in the past that it has "suffered" a natural repopulation of some animal and floral species, which have found their oasis here to live in peace, reproduce or find shelter. The lake is home to royal pheasants, seagulls and mallards and, in times of migration, is the home of some pairs of white storks. This place can be reached starting from Zibido towards Gaggiano on a cycle path.

In this farmhouse, in addition to buying excellent products, you will find free grazing cows at certain times. The particularity of this place lies in the mill with finely decorated wooden blades. It was in fact a hunting lodge of the Sforzas in the 1400s. You will also find a small lake with a Nordic-style house made of wood. In the middle of this house there is an oak tree which was not cut down when it was decided to build the house because the owners didn't have the "courage" to cut it down...and now it has grown and casts a shadow!
