Passo della Tambura

In addition to the breathtaking views and interesting paths to follow, the Tambura pass also has a particular history. Between 1738 and 1751, the Duke of Modena requested the construction of a road from his residence to his property near the Tyrrhenian Sea. Due to political complications, the road had to be built on the nobleman's property, which forced his engineer, Domenico Vandelli, to build it across the saddle of the Tambura pass. Unfortunately, the slopes on both sides are very steep, which made it necessary to use all his engineering knowledge to construct the endless hairpin bends that cross the pass. Today the route is only suitable for those walking or cycling.Nearby Mount Tambura is one of the largest mountains in the Apuan Alps, easily visible from afar.

Exceptional 360 view. One of the highest peaks in the region
