디코마노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Among the sources of Italy's major rivers, I missed visiting the Po, the Arno, and the Tiber at the beginning of the year. Given that I've reached the source of the Po (Pian del Re at Monviso) and, now, the Arno, to complete the whole thing, all I need now is the Tiber. (Ticino: Novena Pass (CH); Adda: Alpisella Valley; Brembo: Diavolo di Tenda Pass; Serio: Monte Torena; Adige: Resia Pass; Dora Baltea: Ferret Valley; Dora Riparia: Monginevro Pass; Piave: Monte Peralba; Oglio: Ponte di Legno through the confluence of the Oglio Frigidolfo from Gavia Pass and the Oglio Narcanello from the Mandrone Glacier) God willing, and if my health continues to hold out, we'll see if we can reach that one too next year. A difficult sentence to give!

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 spring itself is not spectacular, but the route here (from the south) is very varied.

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 🥰

April is a great time to see the crocuses in bloom.

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.
