モルファッソの天然記念物・トップ18

到着すると、まるで物語の世界に入り込んだかのようです。岩壁に囲まれた湖は非常に印象的です。

The singular basaltic monolith beneath the Bardi castle is located at the beginning of the Bardi - Borgo Val di Taro stage of the Via degli Abati

A pretty little village with its characteristic castle, a convenient stopover for those taking the Appennino Bike Tour.

The peaks of Menegosa are 4 and not 2. 2 in the municipality of Morfasso, in order of height the second and the fourth. And 2 in the municipality of Farini, the first, the highest, and the fourth, the southern peak from which you can get there from Teruzzi or Longhi passing the Passo Menegosa. At least inform yourself before writing nonsense…

Menegosa is made up of 4 peaks overall, not 2. The southern peak, the one you pass coming from Teruzzi is the first. The last one is behind the highest one. 2 peaks are in the municipality of Morfasso and 2 in that of Farini. So before you write nonsense, inform yourself…🤣

This side of the hill is characterized by a rapid change in terrain type at every step, you go from the tree-lined path, to the classic path and suddenly you turn the curve and you find yourself overlooking the gullies. They almost look like sand dunes but in the end they are clay rocks eroded by water. The peculiarity is that some are completely almost devoid of vegetation and immediately after you find them covered.

Not recommended for children, tiring climb and last section on rock

Piplon, a foolish devil, one day fell in love with a beautiful girl named Gesandra, but the young girl would not have anything to do with him. To deceive her, therefore, he disguised himself as a knight and sought the collaboration of Brother Gesualdo, a local religious man, to intercede for him. But the friar did not let himself be ensnared and deceived him in turn. He told him to come back in a week and carved a rock in his own likeness; Once the devil returned, Brother Gesualdo convinced him that the girl would marry him only if he waited for her, immobile, in that place for seven years, seven months and seven days and offered to stay with him while waiting. Months passed and then years and Piplon fell asleep, carelessly letting the sand carried by the wind cover him and transform him into the rock that can still be seen today on the road to Castellana, in the municipality of Gropparello.
