The Magical Woods Trail hosts the works of Giancarlo Volontè; thanks to its evocative landscape, the route transports those who walk it into a fairy-tale world, full of surprises and discoveries at every step, to be experienced with lightheartedness and curiosity.

From "ateinsubriaolona.it": "The word magic evokes fairytale atmospheres, often immersed in a woodland setting, a place populated by fantastical inhabitants and guardian of fables and wonders. The Magic of the Woods trail is a short path that begins in front of one of the two entrances to the Scientific Education Center and hosts the wooden works of Giancarlo Volontè. It winds through a Scots pine forest, transporting those who walk it into a fairytale world, full of surprises and discoveries at every step, to be experienced with lightheartedness and curiosity. Along the trail, you'll encounter elves and spirits carved from wood, as well as giant-sized insects and other animals. Giancarlo Volontè is a skilled wood sculptor, a longtime friend of the Park, and an eclectic Volunteer Ecological Guard who works for the Protected Area. Like any artist, he is able to unleash the communicative power of materials, in this case wood, extracting for the eyes of all that magic guarded by the majestic inhabitants of the forest. Near the Scientific Education Center, completing the Magic of the Forest trail, you can walk the F.A.T.A. Trail, a short circular route complete with educational panels and installations on the solar system.

A beautiful expanse of greenery with a pond and several benches to stop and enjoy the peace in the midst of nature

The municipalities located south of the Lura Valley are often subject to flooding phenomena. The construction of the Lura stream lamination areas was designed for the hydraulic protection of the towns located downstream of Lomazzo and involved the residents of the surrounding municipalities in a truly participatory process right from the planning stages. Volumes (340,000 m3) of areas available for flood management were created. During the excavation phase, outcrops of "ceppo" emerged, a conglomerate rock typical of moraines. The "ceppo", from which the site takes its name (I Prati del Ceppo), can be observed as a covering for hydraulic structures, as anti-erosion bank protection, as a construction material for small structures for the collection, drainage and management of water, as flooring for paths, and perches for birdlife.
