🏢 About the local organisation
The Parco Monte Barro Hostel (http://www.ostelloparcobarro.it/en/) is located next to the Hermitage of Monte Barro. The hostel is run by Legambiente local group with the aim of enhancing the natural and cultural value of the park and to raise awareness about its safeguard. Legambiente with other local associations organizes environmental education activities addressing schools and groups of adults.
Its central position in the park (at 750 meters above sea level, with sweeping views over the Brianza lakes and the Eastern branch of Lake Como) and its proximity to some areas of cultural interest make the Hermitage a perfect venue for accommodation, excursions, educational activities and conferences.
