Description
I first arrived in Varenna Italy, on Lake Como, late in the afternoon, too late to undertake any major hiking. So I decided on just a short hike to ‘Sorgente Fiumelatte, or the Fiumelatte Source. Fiumelatte owes its fame to being the shortest river in Italy, running only 250 m. If that weren’t enough to make it famous, it only runs seasonally, drying up in the middle of October and reappearing in the second half of March with a raging flow. Fiumelatte means ‘milk river’ and its easy to see why. The intermittent flow could imply that the river is the vent of an unexplored underground cavity in the mountains, which gets periodically filled. Da Vinci described the river as having ‘inestimable uproar and noise’ and I can attest that is true! For such a short river, it offers a lot of bang for the viewing buck, with great views at the source and also as it spills into Lake Como in the village of Fiumelatte.
