Comment (Automatic translation in english)
Reached the village of Meride, by bus or leaving the car just under the village itself, we begin to walk starting from the chapel of St. Anthony to the east of it.
At an altitude of 640 meters we turn left and head towards the church of San Silvestro, thus reaching the ancient driveway that goes up towards the North. We take it and then climb up to Cassina and pursued, passing through Forello, we reach the summit where we can admire a beautiful view over most of Ticino and where there is the oratory of San Giorgio, where there is a small refectory always open suitable to take shelter in case of bad weather.
Back down again to Cassina and after about 400 meters, to change the path, turn left and follow the path that descends to the South-East.
At the altitude of 770 meters we meet a path that heads north and leads to the Grotta della Bögia. This cave, the longest in the Mendrisiotto, is passable without too much difficulty for the first 30 meters. Then there is a beautiful pond after which you can continue only with the appropriate equipment.
Once out of the cave we descend again to Meride.
