Visit the 300 years old Rogolone Oak tree in the woodlands of Grandola Ed Uniti, Lake Como, Italy.

Visit the 300 years old Rogolone Oak tree in the woodlands of Grandola Ed Uniti, Lake Como, Italy. An interesting walk, not only because of its natural, but also for its historical aspects. In fact it leads through the historical center of Menaggio, through the village Loveno with its splendid villas, and then into the Val Menaggio. It is an easy walk through the country with lovely views of the Menaggio valley. In the middle of a clearing in the woods stands Il Rogolone an enormous oak tree measuring 25 m in height and 8 m in width. On the way back you pass through the small rural settlement of Velzo.
Be impressed by the size and hights of the Rogolone, the biggest oak tree in Northern Italy.
