リヴェルガーロの天然記念物・トップ12

The Graffiolo Oak, also known as the "Quercione" or "Napoleon's Oak," is a centuries-old tree located in the municipality of Piacenza, near the farm of the same name. It is a monumental oak tree, protected and admired for its size and history, and is considered a "living monument."

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.

Beautiful landscape

The cross is cute

climb to the stone parcellara, for the less experienced to be done carefully

Pietra Parcellara, one of the mountains best known to the people of Piacenza, is also called the "Matterhorn of Valtrebbia" because with its sharp tip it recalls the much better known and highest mountain symbol of the Alps. Solitary, as no mountain comes alongside it from Travo up to the slopes of Monte San Lazzaro, the Pietra Parcellara presents itself with a thousand different faces and aspects, each time surprising: from Travo it is round like a helmet, from Perino it is pointed and sharp like a hard and black cone, from Cassolo it is flat and wide.

Rock path with some passages that require attention both for verticality and exposure. Shortly after the start there is a metal cable to ensure passage over a small inclined slab.

Fun ridge path to the top of Pietra Parcellara. Beautiful 360 degree views. Nothing particularly difficult for those who are sure-footed and don't suffer from vertigo, but still for expert hikers.
