    This is a truly beautiful and peaceful place. Tricky to get to, but absolutely recommend it!
    As a christian I found being in this place extremely moving, not something I have experienced previously.

    The 'Sentiero dei Forti' (path of the forts) is a round walk out of Colico in a northerly direction. The distance is 9km and there are not much differences in altitude, just about 80m, when one goes over the Montecchio hills. It is mostly on small, unpaved roads, with almost no traffic. The best part is in the middle, on a lovely footpath through forests, over meadows and through a traditional hamlet. A bit boring is the long straight stretch by the river Adda.

    On the way one has the opportunity two visit two forts. The Forte Montecchio Norte from WWI comes first, just a 5 minutes branch off from the 'Sentiero'. It can only be visited on guided tours at certain hours. Easier is a visit of the early 17th century 'Forte di Fuentes', built at a time, when Milan belonged to Spain. From here one goes down to the river Adda, branching off to the left before the river reaches Lake Como. Past the 'Spiaggia Selvaggia', the wild beach, one finally arrives back at Colico by the Spiaggia Ontano.
