Easy hikes and walks around Lake Cava Increa

The course of the Naviglio Martesana in Cernusco is also a Park. It extends across the entire width of the territory of Cernusco sul Naviglio, from the border with Cassina de'Pecchi to that with Vimodrone.

The Martesana cycle path starts from Cassina de' Pomm at the corner of via Melchiorre Gioia and extends for 30 km passing through the municipalities of Cologno Monzese, Vimodrone, Cernusco sul Naviglio, Cassina dei Pecchi, Bussero, Gorgonzola, Gessate, Inzago and Cassano d'Adda.

The Increa Park covers an area of approximately 330,000 sq m (33 hectares) in the southeastern part of the municipality of Brugherio and borders the municipality of Cernusco to the southeast and a stretch of the eastern ring road to the northwest. Where the park is today, there was once an agricultural area, which from the 1960s was the site of sand and gravel extraction activities; then, in 1985, thanks to the variant to the PRG and the agreement between the municipality of Brugherio and some private quarry owners, environmental recovery interventions began, aimed at the creation of a public equipped park including green areas and a small lake. In 1987 the area was acquired by the municipal heritage and in the following twenty years the works were carried out which have led today to having the largest green lung in Brugherio and the surrounding area.

The Naviglio Martesana cycle path is a 30-35 km long cycle-pedestrian route that connects Milan (Cassina de' Pomm/via Melchiorre Gioia area) to Trezzo sull'Adda, running along the canal of the same name. It is a predominantly asphalted, flat, easy and suitable-for-everyone itinerary, which crosses parks, rural areas, and historic noble villas from the 17th-18th centuries.

La Cascina Increa is a historic 17th-century rural complex (inaugurated in 1691), located in Brugherio (MB) in the Increa locality. Structured in four courtyards, once the residence of noble families such as the Tizzoni and the Ottolini, today it represents a typical example of Lombard agricultural architecture. In its vicinity lies the homonymous Parco Increa, born from the reconversion of a quarry.

In the Increa locality, still isolated in the countryside, stands a complex of considerable proportions, owned by the Milanese families of the Tizzoni first, and the Ottolini later. The planimetric layout is that of a closed U-shape, which is preceded by an entrance with a semicircular invitation that leads into the noble courtyard; here, frontally, the main body overlooks with a penta portico. A small oratory, now disfigured, emptied of all sacred furnishings and decorations, stands to the left of the entrance; on the sides, corresponding to the lower wings overlooking the courtyard, three symmetrical openings can be seen.
