Mount Secchieta lies between the municipalities of Reggello and Montemignaio. The peak, approximately 1,500 meters above sea level, is part of the Pratomagno ridge and separates the Casentino valley from the Upper Valdarno valley. There is a refuge there, which can also be reached by a paved road.

The Pian della Capanna refuge is open most of the year, especially from spring to autumn. It remains a point of reference for those who undertake the path of Saint Francis and for this purpose it offers a bivouac that is always open next to the structure.

A short distance from Badia Prataglia is Campo dell’Agio (photo above), a large meadow on the edge of the forest that can be reached on foot and by mountain bike from the town square and by car by turning left next to the Il Carbonile inn, a couple of kilometers beyond Badia Prataglia in the direction of Passo dei Mandrioli. Campo dell’Agio, at 1026 meters above sea level, is also a large equipped area with a refuge, fountain, stoves and many tables at the beginning of the forest. The place is a real joy for families with children, but also a reference point for trekking lovers. In fact, it is the starting and finishing point of various itineraries that wind and intertwine in the famous Badia Prataglia Biogenetic Natural Forest, now included in the Casentinesi Forests National Park.

The refuge, not managed, is located at an altitude of 1234 m. above sea level inside the Casentinesi Forest National Park, along the road that from the Camaldoli Hermitage, passing through Prato alla Penna, leads to Badia a Prataglia.
