Il Ricetto di Magnano is a 12th-century fortified village that seems suspended in time, located on the crest of the Serra Morenica 🏰. Unlike the more famous Ricetto di Candelo, this one retains a more intimate, wild, and authentic atmosphere 🌿. Strolling through its narrow cobbled streets and ancient stone houses, you'll be surrounded by an almost magical silence 🤫. The highlight is the entrance tower-gate, which still welcomes visitors today, projecting them directly into the Middle Ages 🛡️.

The area depicted in these images is located a short distance from the parking lot where it's best to leave your car and explore (on foot or by bike) the countless trails that surround the lake. This is one of the few truly accessible areas along the entire perimeter because, perhaps to protect the lake's fragile ecosystem, the trail that circles it is kept at a constant distance. In any case, aside from the lake, the entire surrounding rural area is worth a visit, still pleasantly unspoiled. A trip in autumn is highly recommended for the myriad colors of the vegetation. Both cyclists and walkers should be careful, as I didn't notice any distinction between trails reserved for mountain bikes and those reserved for pedestrians; many secondary paths have dead ends!

A very pretty stretch along the canal. But be careful not to fall in. :-))

Be careful on the carriage road, the one with 20 hairpin bends that goes down towards Tina has ruts formed by water high in the curves.
