    Along the riverside path, six wooden platforms invite you to pause and listen: Is it the gentle bubbling of water, the chirping of birds, or the distant hum of a tractor that captures your attention? The trail stretches for approximately 10 km and can be explored on foot or by bike. Along the way, you’ll find numerous farms where you can purchase fresh, local products. The audio trail offers a one-of-a-kind sensory experience in Ticino. Just close your eyes and listen!
