Top 3 Lakes around Basiglio

The pond is located within the Parco Spina Azzurra, the main green area of Buccinasco (MI). The oasis develops around three main bodies of water (dei Salici, dei Pioppi, and dei Pescatori). It is an ideal place for walks and birdwatching. On its banks stands the refreshment point L'Isola Azzurra, ideal for aperitifs and breakfasts.

Lago Boscaccio is a splendid natural oasis of about 35 hectares located in the municipality of Gaggiano, a very short distance from the border with Trezzano sul Naviglio, southwest of Milan. Originally created as an extraction quarry, the basin has been completely reclaimed and included in the protected context of the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano.

The Lago di Basiglio is one of the most important bodies of water created from former quarries in the province of Milan, located within the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano. This artificial basin covers approximately 26 hectares and has been completely re-naturalized to become a protected oasis and an ideal refuge for local fauna and migratory birds.

mill lake

First farmhouse once you leave the provincial road towards Gaggiano. It is also characterized by the small lake and the beginning of a dirt road that passes behind the Merlin quarry and that, if the weather is dry, can also be done with a road bike.

This group of lakes was formed around 1975 and the artificial basins are the result of the recovery of as many extraction quarries for aggregates. It has been so neglected by man in the past that it has "suffered" a natural repopulation of some animal and floral species, which have found their oasis here to live in peace, reproduce or find shelter. The lake is home to royal pheasants, seagulls and mallards and, in times of migration, is the home of some pairs of white storks. This place can be reached starting from Zibido towards Gaggiano on a cycle path.
