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.

From "ateinsubriaolona.it": "The word magic evokes fairytale atmospheres, often immersed in a woodland setting, a place populated by fantastical inhabitants and guardian of fables and wonders. The Magic of the Woods trail is a short path that begins in front of one of the two entrances to the Scientific Education Center and hosts the wooden works of Giancarlo Volontè. It winds through a Scots pine forest, transporting those who walk it into a fairytale world, full of surprises and discoveries at every step, to be experienced with lightheartedness and curiosity. Along the trail, you'll encounter elves and spirits carved from wood, as well as giant-sized insects and other animals. Giancarlo Volontè is a skilled wood sculptor, a longtime friend of the Park, and an eclectic Volunteer Ecological Guard who works for the Protected Area. Like any artist, he is able to unleash the communicative power of materials, in this case wood, extracting for the eyes of all that magic guarded by the majestic inhabitants of the forest. Near the Scientific Education Center, completing the Magic of the Forest trail, you can walk the F.A.T.A. Trail, a short circular route complete with educational panels and installations on the solar system.

This is a portion of the Strada Alzaia del Canale Villoresi and not a cycle path (nor a cycle-pedestrian path) as also stated by the signs placed by the Consorzio Villoresi Est which manages its maintenance. It would be a good idea for everyone to look on the consortium's website for the page regarding cycling and walking on the towpaths (for personal culture as much as to avoid "disputes" with anyone)
