On the top of the hill there is a vast panorama, passing from the Serchio and Freddana valleys to the Apuan Alps (Panie group!) And the Apennines. There are the remains of the Church of Santa Maria Annunziata, the bell tower and the parish premises which, closed by nets, and abandoned in the 1960s. A cross with a plaque recalls that in September 1944 two Italians were killed by the retreating Nazi SS.

Mountain biking

Interesting network of paths that unwind from here along the Val Freddana or towards Domazzano. this plateau can be reached by climbing the "Cappella" road starting from the "Bao" locality, from Torre, along the road that climbs up from the "Maddalena", from San Concordio di Moriano, or from Gugliano.
Excellent solution also for Trail Running workouts.
