Southeast of Bellusco, the area between the ancient village of Cascina Camuzzago, the Sanctuary of Ornago, and the Parco del Rio Vallone represents one of the richest and most interesting green lungs of eastern Brianza. A mosaic of woods, fields, and wetlands crisscrossed by a dense network of trails and dirt roads, ideal for simple bike or walking excursions. At Camuzzago, there is the Romanesque church of Santa Maria Maddalena (12th century), a historical gem with fine Renaissance frescoes.
Cycling or walking in the area, you pass through oak, hornbeam, and locust woods, skirt the Le Foppe Wildlife Oasis – a protected wetland populated by numerous bird species – and easily reach the picturesque Sanctuary of Ornago. Part of the trails coincide with the “Sentiero delle Brughiere,” which preserves stretches of the ancient Brianza agricultural landscape made of broom, heather, and rows.

The Parco di Monza is one of the largest historic parks in Europe, with over 700 hectares of woods, meadows, and cultivated fields enclosed by a 14 km long wall. Crossed by the Lambro River, it is a biodiversity oasis and a place rich in history. Together with the Villa Reale and the Royal Gardens, it forms a complex of great landscape and architectural value.

About 20 minutes from Vimercate, the hilly area of Montevecchia and the Valle del Curone is one of the most fascinating naturalistic corners of Brianza lecchese. The namesake Regional Park is a protected area made up of chestnut woods, terraced vineyards, meadows, and springs, crisscrossed by a dense network of trails.

The stretch of the Parco Adda Nord between Trezzo and Paderno d’Adda is one of the most fascinating areas of Lombardy for those who love nature, history, and picturesque landscapes. Along the Adda River, cycling and walking paths wind through the greenery, ideal for excursions on foot or by bike, following the ancient towpath that runs along the water. The landscape is dotted with masterpieces of industrial archaeology such as the Taccani and Bertini hydroelectric power stations, and the majestic Paderno Bridge, a symbol of 19th-century engineering. In Imbersago, you can cross the river with the original Leonardo ferry, still in operation. The area, rich in woods, rapids, and wetlands, is also perfect for birdwatching and nature photography. Finally, Trezzo with its castle and Crespi d'Adda, a UNESCO World Heritage worker village. This corner of Adda is a perfect balance between nature and culture, easily accessible and suitable for all ages.

The Lambro Cycle Route connects Monza to Erba following the course of the river through a varied and panoramic itinerary of about 40 km, among historic villas, bridges, villages, and natural environments. The route, partly paved and partly on compact dirt, winds through various Brianza municipalities, offering an authentic cross-section of the Lombard landscape. Notable along the way: the picturesque hamlet of Canonica Lambro, the river sections of Sovico, Albiate with its Romanesque Basilica and 18th-century Villa Campello, the panoramic views of Inverigo, up to Lambrugo and the spectacular Oasi di Baggero, a jewel of industrial archaeology redeveloped into a nature reserve.
