A spiritual Lake

#myhiddengems So amongst the many lake options, people like to compare como, Maggiore and orta. You see now with experience I can tell, while all of them are beautiful. Of course Como is the most touristy and Maggiore is spectacular. But my personal favourite is this little gem called orta. It has such a spiritual vibe. The spiritual mountain of orta san guilo towers above it and with over 20 chapels in the vicinity. Lake orta is a pilgrimage for st. Francis of assisi. My trip in June was amongst the best times to visit this lake because with spring there are the colorful cherry blossoms and wildflowers. The summer tourists are yet to arrive. There are such brilliant opportunities for surreal walks. While i could do the usual list of places i visited and you should too. But this is a special place and it is more about the feel. You have to experience it yourself. #myhiddengems #lakeorta #italy #europe #sanguilo #100waysoftravel #summerdestinations #cherryblossom2024
