Lake Endine, nestled in the Val Cavallina at about 337 m above sea level, offers intact natural scenery rich in reeds. For a spectacular view, you can walk the hiking loop to the Giant Bench of Ranzanico or climb Monte Sparavera, considered the true panoramic balcony over the lake.

located a few tens of meters from the shore, access to the pier is forbidden, access to bicycles along the shore next to a refreshment is forbidden, in short: just because it had intrigued me, but I left...

Originally, the current Sanctuary dedicated to the "Madonna dei ciclisti" (Our Lady of Cyclists) was called "Madonna della Neve" (Our Lady of the Snow). Being a classic uphill route, also for some stages of the Giro d'Italia and Giro di Lombardia (in addition to many other minor races), it was later named so towards the end of the last century, considering that a small cycling museum was also created next to the church. To which, well-known cycling professionals donated their memorabilia.

Lake Gaiano was once one with Lake Endine. Then, according to geologists, millennia ago the Borlezza Stream, continually excavating its bed, created a dividing rise to the east, at the level of the current Cava Cantamessa, creating the two lakes. The lake is small and particularly muddy to the east, with a large reed bed. From here, the Oneto Stream flows, flowing through the small plain before flowing into the Borlezza River at Pianico, its tributary. It is shallow and hosts several species of aquatic birds, depending on the season. A beautiful cycle/pedestrian path has been created on the southern side of the lake, along pre-existing paths, allowing visitors to safely enjoy the beauty of the area. Almost parallel to the lake, but further east and below the slopes of Monte Na, is the Valle del Freddo, separated from the lake by a small wooded ridge.
