모데네세 아펜니노 공원‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 호수

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!

Lago Baccio wonderful. It is recommended to visit it in autumn to admire its colors.

The lake is located at an altitude of 1,501 m above sea level. and it is the largest natural lake in the Modena Apennines and the second, slightly surpassed by the homonymous lake in Parma, in the entire northern Apennines: it has a perimeter of 1250 m, a length of approximately 550 m and its surface measures 58,000 m2 while its maximum depth is approximately 20 metres, found in the sector below the wall of Monte Giovo; its reservoir is approximately 450,000 m3. Lago Santo is fed by three tributaries: one descends from the Boccaia, another from the Serra coast and the third from the Borra dei Porci terrace; instead there is a single emissary located at the southern end near the Rifugio Vittoria. The lake has a mixed origin, glacial and landslide.

One of the best known and most visited lakes in the entire Emilian Apennines, the Scaffaiolo is even mentioned by Boccaccio in the treatise “De Montibus” of 1373. It is located in the municipality of Fanano, in the province of Modena, and is of extraordinary beauty: the mountain Cupolino and Corno alle Scale are not far away and on its banks stands the historic Duca degli Abruzzi refuge, inaugurated in 1878. Here you can breathe high mountain air.

The tour doesn't have any difficult passages but requires a good workout for the length of the route… the lakes are all very beautiful (unfortunately the cloudy lake was dry) all the others ok! In summer it is advisable to bring lots of water with you...fantastic tour 💙🏞️
