you can reach Imbersago and its ferry boat. It's a 40 minutes long walk, on a flat path. During the trip you can enjoy the quiet river bank and spot many birds and little animals.
In Imbersago you can see Leonardo's ferry boat. The ferry boat has no engine, it crosses the river using solely the river flow force. Leonardo wrote down some notes about this kind of boat, although it's not certain if he designed it or he just observed some of these boats already active during the time he spent here. Leonardo's notes and drawings about the ferry are contained in the Windsor Codex and copies are on display at the ferry's embarcadero.
In the past up to five of these boats crossed the river at various locations. Nowadays this is the only ferry left using the moving principle drawn by Leonardo. It operates daily and it can carry persons, bikes and even one or two cars, but there is not much to see on the other bank. The service may be suspended if the water level is too low.
