This itinerary starts from the hills where the smallest DOCG of Italy is found: Scanzorosciate. Here the famous Moscato is produced. It is celebrated every September with an event entirely dedicated to this sweet dessert wine.

 

Be guided by the course of the river Cherio and go up towards the Endine lake, a delightful mirror of water, small and elegant. In addition, it is silent because the use of motorboats is forbidden.
Along the way, visit the Abbey of San Paolo d’Argon, dating back to 1079 and then rebuild in 1500 by the greatest architect from Bergamo of the period, Pietro Isabello. Pass through Trescore, known for the healing properties of its thermal baths, and arrive at Zandobbio, where you can take the ValCavallina bicycle path. Follow the historic Bergamo path, which began in the ‘90s, and points straight to Monasterolo on Lake Endine.

Take a look around: admire all the natural beauty of this valley, rich in green and blue. You know you have arrived in Monasterolo because you see its impressive medieval castle, with one of the most beautiful gardens in northern Italy. Following along the shores of Lake Endine, pass the lake and head towards Riva di Solto which overlooks another lake, Iseo Lake. Immersed in the rolling hills that surround the lake, making the journey even more enjoyable!
Here you are in Riva di Solto, where the ravine of Bogn awaits you: a spectacular wonder of nature with the bare rocks have fallen steeply into the water of the lake.
