They let the life appear easier here and form a fascinating contrast to the sight of the quaint forests with centuries-old chestnut trees, the granite houses and stables with roofing of stones, with their mountain terraces laboriously constructed, the ravines, deeply polished into the rocks, with their green opalescent rivers and the high, often snow-covered summits. Intoxicating views of promenades, which lie highly over the lake, give a free view on the reflecting water surface of the lake Maggiore and its to banks and mountains until Italy.
