포시안도라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

From the outside, it's a beautiful refuge. We couldn't see the inside because it was closed. It's easily accessible by parking in Case di Civago.

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.

Landmark along the route.

Radici Pass area.

Here you can get water, but only if the shepherd is present, otherwise the door is closed...so my advice is to bring a good supply of water because after that there are no other fountains except the one at the Battisti refuge!

beautiful lake from which many paths start, the food at the refuge is very good and the manager is very friendly
