Mount Moriglion di Penna, while only reaching a maximum height of 542 meters, offers a breathtaking view that extends from the Tyrrhenian coast to the peaks of the northern Apennines. On days when the sky is clearer, from its top you can see some islands of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the south such as Capraia, Gorgona and Corsica. While looking north you can see the peaks of the Apuan Alps and the Apennines, which in winter are covered with snow.
The Moriglion di Penna overlooks the villages of Santa Maria del Giudice and San Lorenzo a Vaccoli, small villages that developed especially in the Lombard period (6th-7th century).

On one side you can see the Lucca area with its hills and on the other side Pisa, the Leaning Tower and the sea!

I recommend using poles, and not doing it downhill shortly after the rain like I did (risking my ankle going off)
