Mountain biking

Archaeological site in the municipality of Besnate, the so-called lagozza is a small but charming lake surrounded by a small swamp. This peat bog gave birth, in 1877, to an ancient pile-dwelling and from there a civilization was discovered, called precisely the Lagozza Civilization, which in all likelihood lived here about 5,000 years ago.

Lagozza in prehistoric times was a large swamp with shallow water. There is evidence of settlements dating back to the 3rd millennium BC.
