Tips from the Community

Stenio Melani
September 6, 2026, Parco Calipolis

L’Approdo del Parco Medio Olona “Calipolis” is a true oasis that offers peace and tranquility in one of the most urbanized regions of Northern Italy. A place where nature, sport, and history meet on the banks of the Olona river at the bottom of the valley in Fagnano Olona, while the surrounding hills crown the landscape. “Calipolis” is also a place that demonstrates how it is possible to recover and enhance disused areas, making them places of natural and scenic interest. In fact, the mere presence of the Olona river guarantees users of the area the opportunity to observe fish and, above all, birds associated with the aquatic environment, such as herons. Furthermore, there are also wetlands – two ponds, one of which is educational – where you can hear the croaking of frogs and toads. At the educational pond, some potential “guests” are illustrated, such as the agile frog, the tree frog, the common toad, Lataste's frog, and the emerald toad.

The "Calipolis" landing stage, located in the Medio Olona Park, is part of the wonderful redevelopment of a former industrial area undertaken by volunteers from the Contrada dei Calimali. Open year-round to the public on Sundays and holidays from 9:00 a.m. to sunset and on Saturdays from 2:00 p.m. to sunset. In addition to a kiosk, the area also features restrooms, picnic tables and benches, an e-bike charging station, and a library for bookcrossing.

Beautiful cycle path along the Olona River. Several points of interest: the Torba Monastery (FAI) and, with a short detour, the Castelseprio Archaeological Park with the beautiful church of Santa Maria Foris Portas.

be careful of the wooden step which can be slippery if wet and the nice climb/descent before/after on the bridge

To avoid the little bridge you can turn right onto the little road that passes behind the industrial complex, and rejoins the route further ahead at Castelseprio. This is NOT a good option if you intend to go up to Cairate.
