Saturday, 22nd May 2021:
The weather this weekend still looks a bit uncertain, but should be kind enough: according to the latest forecast, Sunday should be the sunnier day, but Saturday afternoon also appears to be decent. How about having a light hike on Saturday and a more demanding one on Sunday?
The idea for Saturday is to explore the Nervi lakes, formed by the Nervi and Garega brooks within a canyon-like environment, that’s just a stone’s throw away from civilization. More specifically, we’ll start from Nervi station, walk up to the church of San Rocco and then try to reach both the famous Lake of the Geese and the heart-shaped lake that’s beyond it.
Given that the morning will be damp, let’s meet at 3:02pm at Nervi station.
Recommended trains are:
- if you travel eastwards
14:29 Genova Piazza Principe – Genova Nervi 14:53
(there’s also 14:45 Genova Brignole – Genova Nervi 14:57)
——–
- if you travel westwards
13:50 La Spezia Centrale – 15:02 Genova Nervi
Hike is rated as T/E (easy/medium) until the lake of the Geese, E (medium) afterwards, takes 2 hours with 200 metres of elevation gain and is well described on:
Return will be from Nervi, probably after 5:30pm (or later, if you wish to swim).
