One of the two "dead Omo" visible on the Apuan Alps. This is visible from the fortress, where I took the photograph. The second figure is visible from the Cathedral of Barga.

Hiking

Fortezza mont'Alfonso: Unusually large fortress of the Este family from the 16th century. From here you have a really fantastic view of the surrounding mountains and plains. Open-air concerts are regularly held here in summer. Entry to the fortress and parking in front of it are free. However, it is also advisable to park the car in Castelnuovo Garfagnana and take the "Ariosto" hiking trail.
