プレミルクオーレの絶景の山頂・トップ13

A peak a few meters lower than nearby Monte Falco, which is the highest point in the entire Casentino area. It's best known for its source, the Arno River, about 300 square meters below, on its southern slope. It offers a beautiful view of the surrounding valleys and mountains.

The "San Paolo in Alpe" bivouac, recently built inside an old residential structure, is located in the mountainous part of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, more precisely in the province of Forlì-Cesena, in the municipality of Santa Sofia. The building is divided into two parts: one is always open and available as a temporary shelter, while the other is used as a managed bivouac, accessible by reservation. The building is located on a plateau at an altitude of 1,030 meters and lies entirely within the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park. The surrounding landscape is characterized by open grazing areas, immersed in a forest landscape of high environmental value that extends to the Apennine ridge, which includes the Sasso Fratino Integral Nature Reserve, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.

A beautiful hiking trail from the source of the Arno to the summit: not too steep and through a beautiful, shady beech forest. From the summit, there are great views to the west.

A particularly beautiful destination in winter 🥰

Panoramic view of Romagna.

Monte Falco at 1658 m above sea level, is the highest peak of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines. Alongside its second (Monte Falterona for only 4 meters less) it marks the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. Near the Capo d'Arno source and various refuges and restaurants, it offers an excellent view of the valleys, lush forests and numerous routes suitable for everyone. Non-exposed paths. Be careful on the steepest and most rugged sections. Definitely recommended.

Mount Falco stands on the border between Arezzo and Florence and is also known as the "Roof of the Casentinesi Forests". With its 1,658 meters of altitude, it is the highest peak in the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, exceeding the adjacent Mount Falterona by just four metres. To protect the alpine and subalpine vegetation present here, which is rare for these areas, an integral nature reserve has been established in this area.

Magical, fairytale-like San Paolo in Alpe. The preserved ruins bear the memory of the devastation carried out on 12 April 1944 by the Wehrmacht troops, who prevailed with overwhelming forces and heavy artillery on the partisan position, set fire to the church and the houses of the village, attacking the civilian population. Today, the silence that reigns on the esplanade, desolate and windswept, together with the merit of the conservative restoration carried out, give the whole an austere and solemn aura that is imprinted in the memory. It's a shame that Komoot doesn't allow you to post videos that would pay better homage to the place than a single photo can
