Lugano - Como

This tour only follows roads and is actually not recommended for hiking. But I did it because I really wanted to reach Como. In the end, I didn't find it too bad as I got many impressions of the towns along the way. First, it went through the city down to the lakeshore. Along the shore, I followed the road to Melide. I skipped Mount San Salvatore - as a long-distance hiker with a heavy backpack, you don't really want to go up and then back down right away. However, I treated myself to a visit to the Swiss Miniature Park in Melide - see photos. Over the dam and further along the lake it went to Capolago. On roads further to Mendrisio and Chiasso with a border crossing. Pedestrians are not checked. It continues down to Como, where the youth hostel Villa Olmo lies directly on the route. I can only recommend it - good food and a beautiful garden with red wine for the evening. I kept stopping there whenever I was in Italy - a bit of longing for distant places...
