Ancient Watermill and Panoramic Picnic at Lake Como
Overview
Through an ancient signposted route between the mills, you will take part to an open-air museum in the ancient village of Villatico, near Colico.
You will visit Molino Maufet, part of the "Places of the heart FAI", Fondo Ambiente Italiano (Italian Environmental Trust), an ancient mill with a curious and unique history.
Following a panoramic ring of approximately 6 km, you will hike on the historic itinerary which one served as a connection between the mills, reaching the Robustello area and the medieval Fontanedo.
On the way we'll enjoy the stunning panorama of lake Como, and stop for a delicious Pic Nic lunch with local products (mix of local cheeses and charcuterie, honey and jam, fresh fruit of the season, local dessert, 1 bottle red/or white wine every 2 persons).
Overlooking the wonderful lake Como and nestled on the slopes of Monte Legnone, Villatico was built over the centuries in symbiosis with the Roggia molinaria, which from the end of the 1200s powered 12 water mills.
