In the summer, the sun, which struggles to climb over the mountains on this side of the lake during winter, floods the area, bathing in light the hill that is home to the Gambarogno Botanical Park, which covers a total area of 20,000m2. Here the gardener Otto Eisenhut has created a park that today contains 950 varieties of camellia and more than 450 varieties of magnolia, alongside azaleas, rhododendrons, pines, junipers, ivy, exotic firs and varieties that are rare in Europe. Thanks to this vast range of plants, during the flowering period the park becomes a riot of incredible colours, fragrances and sensations. It is a daydream, dreamt by a man and pursued over the years with love and dedication.
