The Bishop’s Way is an itinerary through the territory of the Terre del Vescovado municipalities that can be traveled both from West to East, that is, from Scanzorosciate to Sarnico, and vice versa.
The territory of the Bishop’s Lands Municipalities is, from the point of view of landscape and environmental value, quite heterogeneous.
These are hills and valleys, not to mention stretches of plain, where anthropic intervention in modifying and exploiting the environment pervades every place; here, however, it was often precisely such intervention that determined the peculiar appearance of the slopes facing south: rows of vines and terracing that highlight the gentle hill morphology. Castles, villas, farmsteads, contribute to characterize an environment where patches of a happy union between human activity and nature are preserved, more frequent than elsewhere in the Lombardy of the hills and high plains.
Hike suitable for the hiker accustomed to hiking and with average training.
