Italy: Campo Parco dei Fiori 18 Aug 2013

Today Diana, Loretta's sister is joining us for an excursion to Campo del Fiori.

Our first stop is at the 
Varese Lake 









“Santa Maria del Monte”
or 
“Sacro Monte di Varese”























The Regional Park of Campo dei Fiori is one of the largest nature parks in the Varese area.
It borders to the north and west on the Cuvia Valley, to the east on the Ganna Valley, and to the south on the state road from Laveno Mombello to Varese, the perfect departure point for a visit to the Park. 


The Park owes its beauty to the rich variety of plant and animal life it contains. The woods abound in beech, chestnut, ash, lime and maple; orchids and gentians bloom in the meadows. The fauna includes different species of birds of prey such as black kite, honey buzzard, common buzzard, sparrowhawk, peregrine falcon and short-toed eagle, as well as more common animals like red deer, roe deer, and bat.

A fabulous view of the Varese lake, unfortunately in the mist.
