Fountain before starting the climb towards the hermitage of Camaldoli immersed in a splendid beech forest.

The Prato alla Penna clearing is located at an altitude of 1248 at the crossroads between the Passo Fangacci-Sacro Eremo dirt road and the forest track that branches off from here to the northwest in the direction of Gioghetto-La Calla. Although devoid of buildings, it is a historically and geographically important location as a timber tax and as a junction of paths.

The small town of Camaldoli, located within the municipality of Poppi, in the heart of the Casentino forests, is a real surprise. In fact, a community of monks founded at the beginning of the year 1000 by Saint Romualdo of Ravenna and still active today resides here. The monks live their life of prayer between the monastery and the hermitage, two elegant complexes about three kilometers apart, which are the main reason for the trip. But that's not all, because visiting Camaldoli also means immersing yourself in the lush nature of the Casentino Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna national park, which extends between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, and entirely includes the town and its surroundings. You can therefore walk along the trekking paths, or cycle along them, and then visit the beautiful surroundings, since the Casentino, the valley below, is truly full of things to see.

Must see! Camaldoli Monastery and its Church

The charming village of Camaldoli is frequented by pilgrims, walkers and tourists in search of spirituality, freshness and peace.
