ピテーリオの峡谷・トップ6

Hi...but does this path around Grotta Maona have signs?

Semi-abandoned village (unfortunately like many others in the Garfagnana!), but which nevertheless retains an almost austere charm and beauty; after passing the village of Cocciglia (presence of drinking water fountains), there are still about 600 meters to the starting point, but practically they are the worst of the whole route, given the abundance of vegetation that invades the CAI path ... . Sin!

Stretch of road that runs along the Torrente Lima, here you can do many sporting activities.

Beautiful valley a continuous up and down.

In the territory of Bagni di Lucca, near the town of Cocciglia, you will find these limestone gorges magnificently carved into the rock. Flowing impetuously below is the Lima torrent, whose waters increase as the snowfields melt. To feed them, however, there are also underground springs, which create tortuous structures, crossed by eddies and eddies, so much so that, over time, legends and tales about this stretch of river were born spontaneously. Some say that the Dragon Regulus is hiding under these rocks, others that the gates of hell are here. Today, however, the straits of Cocciglia in the Val di Lima are anything but hell, as they have become a paradise for water sports enthusiasts.

The Orrido di Botri is an imposing limestone gorge, characterized by very steep walls dug in depth, up to 200 meters high and in some stretches just a few meters away from each other.It therefore looks like a real karst canyon , a narrow and sunken valley, created thanks to the erosive action of the waters of the Pelago river on the limestone rocks of the Apennines. The stream is wedged between high rocky walls, forming a natural environment of rare suggestion and of considerable geological and naturalistic interest. The flora is particularly rich and interesting: it is possible to admire numerous botanical species that are rare elsewhere, such as the uncommon pinguicola (Pinguicola vulgaris), an insectivorous plant with purple flowers and viscous leaves suitable for capturing small insects on which it feeds.

Valley crossed by the Lima torrent, preferable to follow it from April to October because in winter it remains totally in the shade
