Numbness In Arm And Pill

last country overlooking Lake Maggiore Monte Borgna 1158 m

Raggiungo Pino sulla sponda del Lago Maggiore a 289 m, oltre a essere ultimo paese lombardo affacciato sul Lago Maggiore, ha anche il record di essere il comune italiano ad avere il nome più lungo. Lasciata l'auto nel comodo parcheggio e calzati gli scarponi mi dirigo verso la parte alta del paese, imbocco una viuzza scalinata dalla parte opposta del parcheggio, svoltando a destra arrivo in Piazza della Vittoria, costeggiata sulla sinistra la torre civica A.D. 943, in breve eccomi davanti alla chiesa dedicata ai Santi Quirico e Giulietta, da qui già you can enjoy a beautiful view of the lake, but it is just a small taste of what we now wait for me! Continuing on the right after a few minutes the asphalt ends and you continue on a dirt road to pedestrian use that ends at the top of Tronzano, going right between the houses, after about 10 minutes left on the trail began, attention to the trail sign on the pole . It crosses the road again to resume the trail on the opposite side with clear indications for Bassano, after a stone chapel with Don Beretta Ponte Chiasso, across the street for the last time taking up the mule track that goes between views to Bassano before entering the village on the right you can see a fountain carved in stone dating back to 1668. I follow the square of the lovely eye-catching signs and passing through a narrow lane on the left to increase again using the old path. The climb takes place in the first section in a beautiful forest of chestnut trees, as you go up the trail becomes increasingly steep and submerged leaves, pass by the ruins of a hut, silence envelops all around creating a special atmosphere. After passing a chapel now in a state of complete abandonment, I start along a large stretch of woods between some old and gnarled beech trees, I feel that I look, the feel is a feeling I have when I'm alone and in absolute silence. Following a relatively flat stretch arrival ai Monti di Bassano 950 m, the chalets are all beautifully restored and amazing location, continuing on the road to beat the Delio lake next to a votive chapel, on the right path to begin on M. Borgna reported by some well-placed signs on the trees. After running alongside a dry stone wall through a flat stretch with a ruin, the path now starts to rise without any major tear, you just give a little 'attention to the signs on the trees after about 30 minutes I am on top of 1158 m. The view is wonderful, I sit and stay a while to contemplate the view over the entire lake Maggiore, Luino on the left side to right side and the Borromeo Islands, the Monte Zeda, the Limidario the group Rose in the backdrop. For the way back I follow the same route, only to Mount Bassano do a little detour to reach the Lake Delio where I sat on a bench sipping a cup of hot tea. Hike very beautiful and charming, I just met whether ice just before reaching the top, otherwise you just get a little 'training in the legs, dropping in some places the leaves I came to mid-calf ...
