포시안도라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A refuge with renovated private rooms and excellent cuisine. It's an excellent starting point for various hikes in the area, and the management is very friendly. From the (paid) parking lot, it's about a 10-minute walk uphill to the refuge. The manager, Massimo, is a wonderful person; it's always a pleasure to return!

The Shepherds' Festival at Lame di Capraia, in the municipality of Pieve Fosciana, is an event held annually on the last Sunday of July. The festival celebrates the area's pastoral traditions, with traditional dishes, music, and activities for adults and children. The festival recalls the times when shepherds, during the transhumance, gathered here to celebrate the end of the mountain grazing season with mass and a shared lunch. During the festival, you can taste typical Garfagnana dishes, such as polenta incaciata, macaroni, farro, lamb, rosticciana, sausage, cheese, homemade cakes, and neccio fritters with ricotta. In addition to food, there are activities for children, music, and, in the past, even cheese-making demonstrations. In short, the Shepherds' Festival is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient traditions of Garfagnana while enjoying local flavors.

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

Done for the first time with a CAI assistant, harness and safety line on the way up...for experts it's nothing special but for those less used to it like me all the safety brought allowed me to do it, it's not trivial to have realized this little dream 💪🏼😃

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! 🙌🏼😃
