サンタソフィア周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A particularly beautiful destination in winter 🥰

Of course, very easy. It can be reached very well by bike.

The refuge, not managed, is located at an altitude of 1234 m. above sea level inside the Casentinesi Forest National Park, along the road that from the Camaldoli Hermitage, passing through Prato alla Penna, leads to Badia a Prataglia.

The hermitage of Camaldoli was founded around 1025 AD by the hermit friar Romualdo, today San Romualdo. At the beginning the structure had five cells for hermits and a church for common prayer. Today there are twenty cells and the most "recent" dates back to 1743. Over the centuries, other common structures have been built: the refectory, the library and the guesthouse. All the cells are built following the model of the first cell of San Romualdo, still visible although incorporated by the library: it is a small house with a garden surrounded by walls. The internal spaces of the hermitage can only be visited during guided tours; the timetables can be found on the Camaldoli community website.

This location takes its name from the erosive phenomenon caused by the Rabbi river, in fact at this point the waters of the river have cut the rock on which they flowed into three parts, creating two small waterfalls. Below them a wonderful natural swimming pool has formed, ideal for a refreshing swim in the warmer months.

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.

The Calla pass is the highest road pass within the Foreste Casentinesi National Park. It connects the Arno valley with that of the Bidente, and also marks the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. The classic climb is the one that comes from Stia, about 15 kilometers with a difference in altitude of 850 metres. It is never too steep but the length makes itself felt, especially if you pedal with your bicycle loaded with luggage.

Sega waterfalls in Premilcuore, the Rabbi river creates a fantastic place where you can cool off after or during an outing in the beautiful woods of the area in the summer.
