This artificial lake was created by damming the Turritecava stream in the late 1930s. Its protected location makes it an excellent refuge for birds. Canyoning is possible nearby on the Rio Selvano, a tributary of the Turritecava.

The dirt road is fairly good and easily passable; the cycle path is wide and quite busy and, above all, it avoids crossing the main road which is very busy.

The city walls of Lucca are very impressive

It was so nice to be able to cycle on the walls that I didn't even want to leave it. The very wide path facilitates mutual space.

Ponte della Maddalena, or Ponte del Diavolo, is one of those places that will leave you speechless. It is located in Borgo a Mozzano and is truly unique with its very high arch and slightly crooked shape that makes it different from any other medieval bridge. It is absolutely worth stopping: the atmosphere is special. Crossing it on foot is an experience, and if you are on a bike, be careful of the stone section that can be slippery. There is also a bar nearby with a beautiful view of the bridge, perfect for a break before getting back on the road.

It is very beautiful here.

The city wall, which is around 4 km long and 20-50 meters wide, is one of the buildings in Lucca that gives this city its special flair. Today, the entire area is a park, mostly planted with chestnut trees. Such a building - a park on an old rampart - can otherwise only be found (you would hardly believe it) in the German city of Soest......

The city walls of Lucca have surrounded the old city centre since 180 BC. The current wall, built between 1504 and 1645, served as a defence against attacks from nearby Florence. The wall’s only use as a defensive line was against the floods of the River Serchio on 18 November 1812. As one of the best-preserved examples of a 16th-century European defensive structure, the wall remains an impressive symbol of Lucca’s rich history.
