In and around Germignaga are the Tresa estuary, parks, and cultural and landscape attractions. Parco Boschetto is located at the mouth of the River Tresa. The mouth of the River Tresa at Isolotto alla foce del Tresa is a hub of the province’s ecological network within the ecological corridor of Lago Maggiore. The waterscape around Germignaga therefore also has an ecological function.
