"Via Verde"
A walk on narrow streets of "Moltrasio", far from the traffic, which from Tosnacco (high fraction of Moltrasio) leads to the pier of Laglio passing through Carate Urio.
The "Green Way" is marked by green bollards on the ground, recalling a more well-known Way!
Roundtrip: 7,5km

Santa Marta Church
The church is reached by many steps flanked by the 14 Stations of the Cross chapels built in 1752 and recently restored; was originally dedicated to the Saints Nazario and Celso.
It was founded in 1000 and consecrated in 1095 by Pope Urban II, limited to the nave and the belfry. Suffered tampering and restorations have led to its current appearance so to say, with three naves and fitted with ancillary rooms.
Upon entering, we have many works of art, mostly paintings from the fifteenth century. On the high altar is placed a Madonna with Child between Saints. From the church courtyard, open view on the first basin of the lake and the mountains. (Wikipedia source)
