モラッツァーナのおすすめツーリングルート

アリオステスカの城砦（ロッカ・アリオステスカ）は、ガルファニャーナの Кастельнуово に位置する中世の要塞化された軍事施設です。この城砦は街のシンボルであり、中心部にあるウンベルト1世広場を見下ろしています。 その名前は、エステ家の統治の拠点であったこと、そして1522年から1525年にかけてエステ家のガルファニャーナ総督として詩人ルドヴィーコ・アリオストが滞在したことに由来しており、アリオストの後には翌世紀にフルヴィオ・テスティが続きました。 10世紀にはすでにこの地に小さな駐屯地が存在していましたが、今日私たちが知る城砦の元の構造は12世紀に遡ると言えます。13世紀を通じて改築され、14世紀初頭にはカストルッチョ・カストルカーニによって大幅に拡張され、彼の時代に村全体の城壁が広げられました。 その後、パオロ・グイニージが城砦中央にある印象的な塔の建設を命じました。この塔は市営時計で飾られ、後に牢獄としても使用されました。 広場に面したテラスは1675年に建設され、街の中心部への記念碑的なアーチの開通と同時に行われました。 内部の調度品は失われており、その中でも「君主たちの間」を飾っていたタペストリーが知られています。 この城砦は第二次世界大戦中に損傷を受け、その後修復されました。展示会や文化イベントの会場となっており、その部屋には考古学博物館が収蔵されています。博物館には、ガルファニャーナの先史時代、リグラ・アプアニア時代、エトルリア時代の多くの遺物や証拠が保存されています。

This artificial lake was created by damming the Turritecava stream in the late 1930s. Its protected location makes it an excellent refuge for birds. Canyoning is possible nearby on the Rio Selvano, a tributary of the Turritecava.

A very beautiful bridge over the Lima River in Fornoli. For pedestrians and cyclists only. The best way to cross the river to the quieter side.

Ponte della Maddalena, or Ponte del Diavolo, is one of those places that will leave you speechless. It is located in Borgo a Mozzano and is truly unique with its very high arch and slightly crooked shape that makes it different from any other medieval bridge. It is absolutely worth stopping: the atmosphere is special. Crossing it on foot is an experience, and if you are on a bike, be careful of the stone section that can be slippery. There is also a bar nearby with a beautiful view of the bridge, perfect for a break before getting back on the road.

An exciting bridge made of wood and steel with two beautiful portals.

A bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, of a special kind!👍

In the beautiful Garfagnana region, between the famous Tuscan towns of Lucca and Barga, lies the Ponte della Maddalena (Devil's Bridge) next to the picturesque village of Borgo a Mozzano. Built over the river Serchio, the Ponte della Maddalena is not only one of the most beautiful bridges in the region to see. It is also a bridge with a long history full of special legends, the first stories of which date back to the 11th century. Nobody knows exactly when the construction of this impressive bridge began. It probably happened around the year 1100, on the orders of Matilda di Canossa. The first legend surrounding the bridge originated from this period and it was given its nickname the 'Devil's Bridge'. In Italian it is also called Ponte del Diavolo. Around that time, a man named Saint Julian was working on the construction. Because the work was hard and slow, he decided to make a pact with the devil. The devil would finish the bridge in one night, in exchange for the soul of the first living creature to cross the bridge. This happened, only Saint Julian made sure that it was a dog that crossed the bridge first and not a human. It seems that the devil is still furious today… Source: https://www.toscanetips.nl/blog/ponte-della-maddalena-bezoeken

Part 2 / Day 8 Barga, In search of cooling – ‘dessert walk’. The sun has reached its peak during our lunch. The temperatures are rising in the old town. Not a breath of wind blows through the narrow alleys. City walls groan under the heat. Locals hide behind their thick house facades. The calories burned have been amply replenished by lunch. However, we do not turn down the proposed dessert walk. On the panoramic terrace in front of the imposing Duomo di San Cristoforo we literally reach the highest point in Barga. The sun burns the earth and its subjects. Heaven is within reach, but our time has not yet come. Wisely we continue looking for cooling in the lower-lying holy houses. Churches and chapels are excellent buildings to calm the heated minds. The further we descend through the narrow streets, the more sweet smells stimulate our brains. Just outside the city walls, in a sea of shade, we have an appointment with Theobroma. Theobroma Capolavori di Dolcezza is a paradise that specializes in gelato, yogurt and che. All these delicacies in cool colors and scents ask to be tasted. In this heaven on earth, where masterpieces of sweets surpass works of god 😉, we conclude our acquaintance with Barga. In one word, Barga was finished. Read other experiences? Click through to https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/collection/2195535/-visit-italy-2023-regio-massa-carrara-lucca
