The Magliasina River is approximately 15 km long, flows into Lake Lugano (Ceresio), and encompasses two floodplains of national importance. Numerous animal species (e.g., crayfish) and rare protected plant species (ostrich fern, wetland forests with white and black alder) live in this area.

It's definitely tiring but the view makes up for the effort, if you want there's a cable car from Miglieglia😁

Here you take the mountain bike train up Monte Lema. Then you ride the mountain bike down to Italy and then back to Agno.

Tiny little bridge across the Magliasina river. When it's warm, you can cool off with a paddle in the crystal clear water.
