DISCOVERING THE OLIVE GROVES

Constantly walking uphill you will walk among Bozeno’s streets to reach the highest point of the entire path, from which you can take the route on your right towards Biosio. During the journey you will meet the “Frantoio” (oil mill), the driving force of local olive growing.

Biosio is a tiny village characterized by a medieval atmosphere and a small baroque church overlooking the lake. The mule-track path leads us then to the massive factory building, that was once a tavern. The track continues north way and follows the opposite side of the journey of the “Sentiero del Vandate” path.

Overpassing Rivalba’s church, you can take an uphill path overlooking the lake: it goes inside the olive groves, to Sant’Andrea and down to Bellano.
