Starting from Pieve, we will descend along the old and steep Porto path, in the past the only link with the lake, past rocky walls with Mediterranean vegetation to reach the 'Strada della Forra'. Imagined by the well-known Professor Arturo Cozzaglio, it is an incredible work, especially for the era in which it was built. The grandeur of nature, combined with human ingenuity, will manifest itself in the Forra carved by the Brasa torrent from which we will ascend to return to Pieve where we can again admire the lake from its terraces. The excursion is enriched by a small refreshment stop, at the most suggestive point of the route, at the La Forra Restaurant.

The excursion is free of charge.
