A charming and quiet lakeside walk from Domaso to Dongo, walking along the lakeside promenade of Gravedona ed Uniti. Considering the duration and the modest difference in height, the route is suitable for families with children.
Route
Just past the Domaso Imbarcadero (Boat Station), take the beautiful lakeside promenade to the left, which will lead you to Gravedona ed Uniti in about 30 minutes.

You will also come across several camping areas and some beautiful beaches.
First you arrive at the Parish Church of Santo Stefano and shortly after the charming Spiaggia delle Gere, where the bike/pedestrian track ends.
