Still an incredibly beautiful and peaceful place in 2026. However, the view has become overgrown over the years. Nevertheless, worth a hike.

Small lake worth visiting. There are paths and wooden walkways, easily passable. Be careful when wet! However, the tour of the lake is short and it is worth slowing down or perhaps using this area to take a rest stop.

The parish church of Comano is dedicated to the Madonna and the «purification» is remembered. First documented in 1359, it was enlarged in several successive steps until it reached its present size around 1570. In the 17th century it was rebuilt in Baroque style, while the barrel vault of the nave was built in 1848. Important restorations in recent times, in the sixties. This remarkable construction ends in a square choir, on the north side of which the post-Romanesque bell tower rises with a pyramid roof. Nave with four bay windows with walls structured by columns and two chapels open at the sides, each dedicated to the Virgin and San Carlo; The choir is decorated with very rich stucco from 1625, made by Giovanni Antonio Marchi di Comano, while the scenes from the life of the Virgin Isidoro Bianchi di Campione, painted in trapezoidal panels, are attributed.

The parish church of Origlio stands a little above the village and can be reached via a suggestive staircase. It owes its current structure to three construction phases: the original chapel from the 15th century, consecrated to St. George (the choir now serves as a side chapel), the church built between 1608 and 1640 and finally the semicircular choir, which was added in the late 18th century has been. The imposing, unplastered facade reveals Lombard style. Four side chapels radiate from the nave with cross vaults. The stucco work was done by local artisans. Giacomo Quadri from Carnago (1765) worked in the choir, Carlo Lepori from Origlio (1758-59) on the side walls and in the vault, and Giovanni Ghezzi from Lamone (1775) on the altar. The fresco of St. Anthony, to the right of the entrance, dates from the 15th century. A multi-colored wooden statue of the Virgin Mary (15th century) should be noted on the high altar. In the Georgskapelle music-making angels, prophets, elves, the coronation of the Virgin Mary, Saint Francis and Anthony of Padua stand out. These frescoes are believed to have come from the Tarilli workshop in Cureglia. The painting in the Katharinakapelle (early 17th century) shows Saints Catherine, Rochus and Sebastian, framed by stucco work made by Gian Domenico Insermini from Mugena (1745). Carlo Lepori also contributed to the decoration of the chapel. Some votive tablets are also kept, one of which (1610) is attributed to the Tarilli. The church was restored in 1970-80 under the direction of the architect Alberto Finzi.
