June 2017 Lenno to Argegno Map of walk 4.9 miles
‘The Greenway‘ is a trail down part of the west side of Lake Como, which passes through Lenno, where we were staying. We walked south from Lenno along the trail to Colonno, then on to Argegno
We passed Villa del Balbiano
14th century bell tower of Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, Ossuccio
Isola Comacina
The village in the gap is where we are going
Church of Santi Giacomo e Filippo, Ossuccio, dates from the 12th century and has very old frescoes
Sala Comacina
Looking back to Lenno and the island – Isola Comacina
Colonno
At the end of The Greenway, we found a waterfall
Argegno
There is a cable car that goes from behind the church up to the top, where there is the village of Pigra at 881m above sea level
Under the porch of the church
In the church
Shame the view from the top of the cable car wasn’t clearer
From the belvedere we could see Lenno, our house, and the villa on the end of the peninsula
We walked around the old village of Pigra, at the top of the cable car
Old wash house
Back down in Argegno
We took a boat back to Lenno, which called at the village opposite Lenno
