Cultural paths

At the following links you can find some interesting cultural itineraries, with historical and architectural insights, involving Ispra and other municipalities in our area.
The following paths have been developed with the contribution of MIBACT:

INDUSTRIAL ARCHEOLOGY ON THE LAKES: MEMORY OF MAN’S WORK LAVORO DELL’UOMO
HISTORY FLOWS ON WATER: MILLS AND WASHING MACHINES
CASTLES, MONASTERIES, MAUSOLEUMS: THE LORDS OF THE LAKES
THE ROMANIC BETWEEN THE LOMBARD SHORE OF LAKE MAGGIORE AND THE VARESINI LAKES

The love walk

The “love walk”, wonder of Lake Maggiore, starts from the Tourist Office (at the end of Via Verbano, facing the lake) and left on the right the tiles celebrating the poems of the “Write love” contest, continues along the lake to the north, developing in a breathtaking scenographic path set in the infinity rock on the water.

Along the way you can see the solitary Ripa (ascent towards the church of San Martino), the Brivio Sagramoso dock and the beach of San Carlo.
Once you reach Punta dell’Umett, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the mountains and the Borromeo Islands, the route reconnects to the Fornaci ring.
