The path begins at the Sanctuary of Madonna della Coltura in Lenna and, after crossing the Brembo River, winds its way up an ancient mule track that seems to lead to distant eras. Following CAI trail 269, the landscape opens up towards Cantone Santa Maria, leading to the picturesque area of S.S. Trinità, a special place where a surprising microclimate offers coolness even on the hottest days.
The Brembo, on the opposite bank, has sculpted a spectacular gorge over millennia, a work of art forged by the impetuous flow of water between the rocks.
Continuing on, you reach the footbridge over the Valsecca stream, where nature becomes even more fascinating: on one side are the clear limestone rocks of the Prealps, and on the other, the dark metamorphic formations of the Orobie Alps.
After the footbridge, the small cemetery of Bordogna seems to guard the silence of this valley, while further on the path climbs towards the Baresi Mill, a place of timeless charm, where the power of water is still harnessed today thanks to a skilled restoration.
You walk along a short paved stretch, but soon the path leads back to the ancient Castle Forcella di Bordogna, a silent witness to the events that have marked these valleys. The sound of water becomes the protagonist again at the Val Fondra waterfall: when open, it plunges with a spectacular 500-meter drop, a powerful dance that enchants anyone who stops to admire it.
Continue until Isola di Fondra, crossing the Canali bridge, elegant and solid since 1715, then ascend towards Trabuchello and the Church of S. Margherita d'Antiochia. From here, the route winds along a road that seems to embrace the valley, leading to Branzi.
In the heart of the country, a final spectacle awaits the traveler: the Borleggia waterfall, with its 250-meter drop,
closes the path in a crescendo of wonder. On certain evenings, the waterfall lights up, transforming into a vision
magic, one last gift for those who have walked this path with an open heart, a path that tells of life, nature, and time.
