バルガの絶景の山頂・トップ20

A beautiful hike. Some trails are a bit abandoned and lack signage, but following the trail is fine. From the top of the tower, there would be a beautiful view, but we missed it due to fog and a myriad of flying ants.

Monte Giovo, 1991 metres, is the highest peak in this part of the Apennines.

Reaching this goal was a great satisfaction for me…it had been in my plans for a long time of peaks to reach so a little dream to realize…from up there breathtaking view obviously! 🙌🏼😃

The ruins of the Tower, or Rocca, of Bargiglio stand on the top of the mountain of the same name at 866 meters above sea level at the gates of Garfagnana and the Media Valle del Serchio. Once you arrive at the Tower, it is clear why it has always been called the "Eye of Lucca": the view is panoramic at 360 degrees and offers a perfect view from the peaks of the Apuan Alps, with the Pania di Corfino clearly visible, to the numerous castles and fortresses of Garfagnana, such as the Castiglione Castle and the Mont'Alfonso Fortress. From here you can also dominate the entire Serchio Valley below, from the walls of Barga and Coreglia Antelminelli to Bagni di Lucca, up to the many towns in the Municipality of Pescaglia. And finally, in the distance to the south, the Lucca plain and then the Tyrrhenian coast. The origin of the fortification dates back to an unknown era, probably built by the Suffredinghi, one of the three potentates of Lombard origin who controlled the Serchio Valley who distinguished themselves for their tenacious resistance to the expansionism of the Municipality of Lucca, being bordered by the Este dominions of Garfagnana. It consisted of only one tower, used as an observation and control point of the vast territory, of the road that passed a little further down and of the small community that lived in the farmhouses surrounding the fortification and the ancient Hermitage of S. Bartolomeo.

Monte Rondinaio among the most beautiful peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines

Monte Giovo rises next to Lago Santo in Modena and offers those who reach the top a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, being second only to Monte Cimone. The spectacle is guaranteed both from the Emilian and Tuscan sides.

Natural border between the provinces of Modena and Lucca, the path on the Apennine ridge passes here from the top of Mount Rondinaio, which reaches an altitude of 2,000 metres. From up here you have a crazy view: on one side the Garfagnana and the Apuan Alps, on the other the Tagliole valley.

One of the most symbolic peaks of the area...getting there is not that challenging and on clear days you can admire the sea in the distance...the Versilia coast and a large part of the Tuscan archipelago!
