ROUTES
Trekking on foot or by bicycle
"The Castellaccio": about 40 minutes of step you can reach the splendid ruins of the Romanesque church called "Castellaccio". It was given this name because at that point there was a Roman fort (of which some traces are still visible). During World War II it was established in this place even a military part of the so-called Gothic Line, of which traces still remain on the steeper side of the hill facing north.
From the pitch above the church, the view opens on all fronts, with one side showing the plain of Lucca and its countries and on the other, the Apuan Alps and the valley of the Serchio river that descends from the Garfagnana, a land rich in natural beauty, parks, nature reserves and historic towns.
