...Tuscany off the beaten tracks

Garfagnana and Apuan Alps

If you love adventure and are looking for a place off the beaten tracks, where you can meet with a wild habitat, ancient villages and genuine people Garfagnana is your ideal destination.

Lain to the north of Lucca, this territory is characterized by two mountain ranges, Alpi Apuane, famous for their white marble quarries, where Michelangelo chose stones for his sculptures, and Appennini, where wolves and eagles live.

The Serchio river and its affluents flow along this territory, rich in ancient bridges, nice villages (Barga, Castelnuovo, Vergemoli, Castiglione Garfagnana, and many others), pathways for biking, trekking and horse riding.

Castles and fortresses dominate landscape (ex: Fortezza delle Verrucole), while caverns and hermitages make you understand how many people found here their own retreat.
Natural environment and mountain paths are controlled and protected by Alpi Apuane Park and Orecchiella Park.

Garfagnana is really a surprising land that can give you enchanting atmospheres, delighting you not only with its natural treasures, but also with its traditional cookery, gastronomy and wine.
