We parked there for a mountain bike ride. It's very picturesque, and there are even some picnic tables.

Alternative is the train between Pontetremoli and Aulla

This place is characterized by a depression on the stream that over the years has created a real basin with crystal clear waters. Once you reach the stream you will find two fairly large but low pools, if you continue down the stream you will find the waterfalls and even further down the basin, near an ancient stone building right on the river.

to Malaspina Castle, where today you can visit the porticoed courtyard. A marble shield with a lion and two branches of Spino Secco, the family crest, welcomes you. Once you enter the loggia, a double staircase leads to the two wings of the castle: on one side, the noble rooms dating back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, on the other, in the direction of the Apennines and the village of Bagnone, the defense tower from which you can enjoy a wide view of the entire valley. Today, a small passage that the inhabitants call “riulin”, ravelin, allows you to go along the tower and the defense system facing the mountains and leave the village in the direction of the small sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve.

Bagnone Castle is located on the highest hill and is clearly visible as soon as you enter the town. It is dominated by an imposing cylindrical stone tower, crowned by corbels of the plumbing system with archers and larger openings framed by frames. The tower remains the only surviving structure of the castle, which has now completely disappeared and is partly incorporated into smaller buildings of the villa of the Counts Ruschi-Noceti. The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited.

The Borgo di Bagnone is a medieval village on the Tuscan-Emilian pre-Apennine hillsides. It is characterized by the waterfalls that flow on the right side of the village, formed in the rock by the flow of the Bagnone Torrent. The oldest part of the village stands on the left side of the Bagnone Torrent, from which it took its name. The circular tower located in this area of the village served to control the valley's traffic and was connected to other similar towers: Malgrate, Groppoli and Mulazzo.

probably the best known of the many well-preserved medieval villages that you come across along the route, which reveals its Byzantine origins both in its name and in its shapes: the term “Filetto”, in fact, derives from the Greek Fulacterion, which means “fortified village”. The town still retains the quadrangular shape typical of the villages of foundation and late ancient camps, with perpendicular streets and central squares. To the oldest part, characterized by narrow alleys such as the Jewish village and a large market square, is added a late Renaissance “addition”, the fascinating Borgo degli Ariberti. The Ariberti family enlarged the village by building a wide central street, a square and a stately building adjacent to the church of Saints Jacopo and Antonio and the Fatebenefratelli Convent. The addition is linked to the village in an elegant way, with suspension bridges and arches that overlook the entrance gates to the town and that connect the main buildings.

Ruins of the Malnido Castle, with the square dedicated to Dante Alighieri, ancient guest of the Malaspina, and the remains of the church of San Nicolò, the medieval road leads to the parish church of San Giovanni
