Ferry ticket (covered by the Danish Semester)

Why Join? Denmark may be known for its flat terrain, but this hike offers a chance to experience the gentle elevations that Lago Maggiore has to offer. Plus, it's an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Danish author H.C. Andersen, who visited this beautiful area in 1833 and recorded his enchanting impressions in his diary, later – in his biography book "The Fairy Tale of My Life." He described the vibrant life in Domo d’Osola and the magical landscapes of Lago Maggiore, likening the view to a higher and clearer version of Denmark's skies.

The square and streets of Domo d’Osola offered the picture of Italy with its street life. Lago Maggiore shone between the black-blue mountains. Lovely islands lay like bouquets on the water, but the sky was not clear. It was gray like in Denmark. Only in the evening had it blown away and the air shone transparent and clear. It seemed three times as high as at home.
“Domo d’Osola’s torv og gader frembød billedet af Italien med sit folkeliv paa gaden. Lago Maggiore lyste mellem de sortblå bjerge. Dejlige øer lå som buketter på vandet, men himlen var ikke klar. Den havde et gråt som i Danmark. Først om aftenen var det viftet bort og og luften skinnede gennemsigtig og klar. Den syntes tre gange så høj som hjemme.
