神秘的な森、トレイルへの道

Stopping to visit this park is worth it.

Castelvecchio Castle in Rocca Barbena dominates the medieval village of the same name, perched on a rocky spur in the Savona hinterland. A former stronghold of the Del Carretto marquises, it was built for military and defensive purposes, and its strategic location made it the fulcrum of feudal power over the valley below. Today, the imposing manor is reduced to a fascinating ruin, its ruins revealing centuries of history. Although no longer intact, the atmosphere surrounding it is highly evocative. Its crumbling walls and towers have become the symbol of the village, a true testament to its glorious past.

Calizzano is a village in the province of Savona, in the Ligurian hinterland, known for its wooded landscape and tranquility. It is an ideal destination for lovers of outdoor activities such as hiking and mountain biking, and for mushroom and chestnut picking. The town is renowned for its mineral waters and springs considered beneficial, such as the "Cruvoyra." Its history is ancient, with origins dating back to the Paleolithic, and a past linked to the Del Carretto family. Among the typical products, in addition to forest fruits, the "Calizzano turnip," a Slow Food Presidium, stands out.

View along the forest road

Artificial lake. At the bottom there are still remains of an old village that emerge in times of great drought or when the lake is emptied for maintenance. Used for water sports, kite surfing, canoeing, and for a triathlon competition.
