Aldo Varotto
March 9, 2025, View of the Ticino River Bend

The trail runs in a very elevated position, on the edge of a plain that surrounds the outer part of a large bend of the Ticino River. The plain ends abruptly in a steep overhanging cliff caused by the erosion of the water at its base. The trail runs through greenery and flowers, in a panoramic position from which you can admire the branch from which it comes, and the one from which the water flows into the bend that flows at your feet. The large gravelly esplanades on the opposite bank inside the bend of the river are also veiled.

The village and surrounding area are home to a sedentary colony of white storks. The nests are visible in some parts of the city and surrounding areas (for example: at the entrance to the village, for those coming from Gropello Cairoli or Bereguardo, or at the A7 exit of Gropello Cairoli on the left), but in the particularly they are concentrated in the area of Cascina Venara in Zerbolò (signs in the city center). The Cascina is also home to a hostel. For several years, the number of nesting storks has stabilized in about ten pairs that breed and guarantee a good number of newborns every year. Since the species tends to live in groups, the presence of the sedentary colony forces storks, engaged in migration, to stop and, in most cases, to nest and reproduce. (Wikipedia)
