Mergugno: in the yellow forest

Ascona-Locarno Tourism Verified partner
Explanation
In about twenty minutes and you find yourself in a beautiful meadow with rhododendrons and some solitary laburnum, which stand out beautifully against the slopes of the Monte Ghiridone. At the time of flowering, between May and June, this place is a veritable mecca for botanists and nature lovers. The yellow mountain flowers are truly unique. But the best is to come. A further twenty minutes and in fact you can admire the most impressive specimens: corrugated, cracked, cavernous and twisted. They are great individuals, dwellings of demons of nature, some on the ground in slow decomposition. The atmosphere invites to walk slowly. The forest scenery is unique, the panorama over Lake Maggiore breath-taking.
