This leads without much effort over the shore places. Tip: Take the public bus to Vira and hike back along the panoramic path. Or vice versa. But if you like the effort, climb the steep slopes towards Monte Gerra right away.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-0f5748ad\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-0f5748ad\">\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-92bd5d93 gb-headline-text\">Sightseeing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are charming villages strung along 10 km of the eastern shore. It is also worth crossing the border into Italy (Pino, Maccagno, Luino). The botanical garden in Vira enchants especially in spring with the impressive camellias, the natural jewel Bolla di Magadino can be hiked wonderfully, and all this in the bus cycle at the half or full hour.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-514391ba\">\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-41b51bd6 gb-headline-text\">We are looking forward to your visit.
