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.

The hike was done in October, a quiet, sunny day. It's best to dress in layers because you'll sweat a bit at the start of the climb, so short sleeves are fine. I later used a Patagonia sweatshirt because it was chilly up there, and a shell jacket if you go in colder weather! I highly recommend it, the view is worth it.

Beautiful access path to the mountain and fantastic views from the summit over the mountains and forests.

A particularly beautiful destination in winter 🥰

There are ebike charging stations

Excellent panoramic view of the valley

The Prato alla Penna clearing is located at an altitude of 1248 at the crossroads between the Passo Fangacci-Sacro Eremo dirt road and the forest track that branches off from here to the northwest in the direction of Gioghetto-La Calla. Although devoid of buildings, it is a historically and geographically important location as a timber tax and as a junction of paths.
