7. Lecco to Imbersago

At the door of the basilica, go down the stairs that lead down to Piazza Mario Cermenati and then to the lake:

1. Follow the pedestrian path by the lake until you return to via Costituzione at the level of a bridge. Continue to the right along a car park and turn right at the end of the pedestrian street on via Raffaello Sanzio to return to the lake. Follow this trail to the end of the lake marked by the Adda River and the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge. Stay on this shoreline by continuing on a sidewalk and a shaded track that leads to the Azzone Visconti Bridge. Cross this bridge and continue on the opposite bank on via Ettore Monti then on the waterfront track, pass under the railway and join via Alzaia until you pass under the SS36 motorway which marks the beginning of Lake Garlate.
   
   
2. Continue along the asphalt track that runs along the lake and crosses different parks (La Fornace, Marco, Torrete,...) with benches in the shade up to the junction with via Statale SP72. Follow this road on the sidewalk, pass a roundabout and take the track on the left after the Mc Donald. Follow the asphalt track to the dam and the Vittorio Emanuele III bridge which mark the end of Lake Garlate and the beginning of Lake Olginate.
   
   
3. Continue opposite on via Martiri della Liberta and then on the dirt track of via Lungo Lago next to a health trail that makes a loop before a water treatment plant. At the end of Lake Olginate and the industrial area, continue in the countryside on the track parallel to via dell Industria, pass under the pedestrian/bicycle footbridge, under the railway track by strada Alzaia and then under the suspension bridge of the SP74.
   
   
4. Continue the track on this shaded shore, pass by a last factory (Costacurto Spa-Vico) to find the calm and noise of the water. Follow the Adda which makes a first meander and then a second meander as it approaches the SP72. Follow the dirt track along the waterfront to Brivio, the next village behind the third bend of the river.
   
   
5. After a footbridge over a pool, turn left to reach the shore and follow the track to Via Leonardo da Vinci at a tower in the middle of Brivio. Pass under a bridge and, at the end of the village, follow the trail at the foot of the hillside. Leave on your right two hamlets (frazione Toffo and localita Molinazzo). At an island on the Adda, cross a footbridge, leave Arlate on the plateau to the right and continue on the shore to reach the pier of the boat that crosses the Adda. 
   
   
6. To reach the church of San Paolo in the centre of the village, go up Via Donatori Di Sangue and then Via d'Adda after the roundabout.
