    Along the road between Sologno and Carù there is a panoramic point with an information panel where you can admire the Pietra di Bismantova in the distance, a typical rock formation located in the Reggio Emilia Apennines on the other side of the Secchia Valley.

    La Pietra di Bismantova is an imposing and characteristic sandstone rock massif located in the Apennines of Reggio Emilia, in the municipality of Castelnovo ne' Monti (province of Reggio Emilia). It reaches an altitude of 1,047 meters above sea level and is famous for its unmistakable hoof or "isolated ship" shape that dominates the surrounding landscape. This majestic calcarenite monolith is protected within the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park and is even mentioned by Dante Alighieri in the IV canto of Purgatory.
