モンティニョーソの湖・トップ5

Perhaps the most beautiful part of the entire trek to Monte Sumbra! The passage on the rocks is truly suggestive.

Very picturesque little village on the edge of the reservoir. In the high season, however, also very crowded ...

Fraction of Careggine, Isola Santa is a splendid village not far from the Garfagnana. It overlooks an artificial lake, filled by the waters of the Turrite Secca torrent stopped by a post-war dam. The cyclical emptying of the basin brings the half-destroyed buildings of the village back to life.

Definitely worth seeing. Very old and very small village, right on the lake with a beautiful dam. A real highlight!

The Antico Borgo with the homonymous lake Isola Santa is a very small medieval village at 550 m a.s.l. made up of small houses with slate roofs embraced and protected by the beautiful Apuan Alps and reflected on a splendid emerald green lake. All this gives the Borgo, located in the Municipality of Careggine in Garfagnana, a very particular, almost "fairytale" aspect.

Some are located just outside Seravezza (at the beginning of the ZTL) and are easy to reach, others are located at the end of more demanding paths in the woods. The most famous is the Pozza della Madonna and is the one fed by the waterfall carved into the rock. It is called Pozza della Madonna and can be reached by a path along the river that starts from Seravezza and leads to the Malbacco pools in about 20 minutes. Park the car before the start of the blocked road and the Ztl, the paths that will lead you along the river banks begin. There are five routes, to reach the waterfall and the pool of the Madonna which is located higher up, it is necessary to take the descent number 4.

Originally an area of ponds and marshes rich in fish, a canal to the sea was dug in the 15C and the site was drained for farming until the 17C. That never worked out right. Eventually the area was reclaimed. Outside it is now dry and should be used for housing, the swampy terrain inside the dyke is a nature reserve and inhabited by waterfowl. There is an unpaved path on the dyke, which is worth walking. The path along the canal to the Mediterranean Sea is also beautiful. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_di_Porta
