This place is an ancient stone quarry. Here the stones of Caprino were extracted, a very hard stone used at that time to build Lugano's houses .
The stones were transported with large boats to the river Cassarate on the opposite side of the lake.

August 2, 2021, 210802 Cantine Di Gandria - Caprino

Arrival by ship to the station "Cantine Di Gandria" or to the "Customs Museum". www.museums.ch/org/de/Schweizerisches-Zollmuseum-Cantine-di-Gandria Wonderful lonely, wild hike in the forest. A lot up and down - away from the tourist flow. Take swimming trunks with you, but leave the food at home. Definitely stop off at one of the beautiful grottos! 1. Grotto Descanso or Grotto Teresa www.grotto-teresa.ch 2. Grotto Pescatori www.grottodeipescatori.ch 3. Grotto San Rocco https://grottosanrocco.ch/de/ And back to Lugano with the last ship at 7.30 p.m. or by boat taxi.
