Discover Ternate: Parks, Lakes and Culture
Accommodation in Ternate
Ternate amid parks, water and activity
An apartment in Ternate offers a holiday destination where open spaces, sport, nature observation and history are closely connected. Parco Berrini provides large open areas for picnics, relaxation, play and sport. Families with different plans for the day can also make use of two equipped play areas with play equipment and a fitness zone. The park is designed without architectural barriers.
Cultural and sporting events also shape Ternate. Since 2012, the Woodinstock Music Art Festival has been held annually at Parco Berrini. Music, art and sport are brought together to raise donations for Parkinson’s research. The international Torneo tra i Laghi, an indoor archery event, also takes place annually in Ternate between February and March.
Cycle paths and nature experiences
For active days, the Pista ciclopedonale di collegamento dei Laghi starts at Parco Berrini in Ternate and is suitable for walking and cycling. The Giro del lago di Comabbio adds another option with a 12.5-kilometre circular route for cyclists and pedestrians. The different route lengths give you a concrete basis for planning your excursions according to the desired scope.
After a few hundred metres, the Itinerario tra i Laghi di Comabbio e Travedona leads from Parco Berrini in Ternate to a wooden platform between the water and the reeds. At Palude Brabbia, you will find nature trails, information panels, birdwatching facilities, an educational pond and a floating observation platform. This makes it possible to combine exercise and nature observation without every day of your holiday having to follow the same rhythm.
Historical traces in Ternate
The Chiesa di Santa Maria del Sasso is a 16th-century building that was refurbished in the 17th century. The Chiesa Parrocchiale dei Santi Quirico e Giulitta was rebuilt in 1600. The bell tower, erected in 1619 and featuring visible granite elements, was built during the same period.
At the Monumento ai Caduti, two white marble plaques commemorate the fallen of Ternate from the First and Second World Wars. The upper plaque is dedicated to those who fell in the First World War and lists their names, while the lower plaque commemorates those who fell in the Second World War. Investigations at Lago di Comabbio found charcoal and post ends in the area of Ternate.
The desired rhythm of your days can be decisive when choosing your accommodation: you may wish to focus on active cycling or walking routes, picnics and relaxation in the park, nature observation in Palude Brabbia or historical discoveries. An apartment in Ternate therefore suits travel plans that alternate between activity, shared experiences and quieter periods.
