A beautiful hike. Some trails are a bit abandoned and lack signage, but following the trail is fine. From the top of the tower, there would be a beautiful view, but we missed it due to fog and a myriad of flying ants.

Beautiful, I often go there with my daughter. Anyone who comes to Pisa must absolutely visit it.

The ruins of the Tower, or Rocca, of Bargiglio stand on the top of the mountain of the same name at 866 meters above sea level at the gates of Garfagnana and the Media Valle del Serchio. Once you arrive at the Tower, it is clear why it has always been called the "Eye of Lucca": the view is panoramic at 360 degrees and offers a perfect view from the peaks of the Apuan Alps, with the Pania di Corfino clearly visible, to the numerous castles and fortresses of Garfagnana, such as the Castiglione Castle and the Mont'Alfonso Fortress. From here you can also dominate the entire Serchio Valley below, from the walls of Barga and Coreglia Antelminelli to Bagni di Lucca, up to the many towns in the Municipality of Pescaglia. And finally, in the distance to the south, the Lucca plain and then the Tyrrhenian coast. The origin of the fortification dates back to an unknown era, probably built by the Suffredinghi, one of the three potentates of Lombard origin who controlled the Serchio Valley who distinguished themselves for their tenacious resistance to the expansionism of the Municipality of Lucca, being bordered by the Este dominions of Garfagnana. It consisted of only one tower, used as an observation and control point of the vast territory, of the road that passed a little further down and of the small community that lived in the farmhouses surrounding the fortification and the ancient Hermitage of S. Bartolomeo.

Very nice view all the way to Pisa and the sea.

Relatively low peak with a nice view! Warning: the climb from San Lorenzo to Vaccoli is very rewarding and fun if you consider the altitude at which you move. If you want something more challenging you can climb from S. Maria del Giudice and choose the path on the right at the fork marked with 2 blue sections that climbs with short rocky sections and loose rocks. There are some easy climbing sections and if you want you can add others if you move away from the path for a moment. Obviously be careful if you intend to climb up, it is necessary to check what you take in your hands because not everything you touch is good, there are flakes and rocks "only supported".

I recommend using poles, and not doing it downhill shortly after the rain like I did (risking my ankle going off)

Dirt road suitable for everyone if you come from Rocca della Verruca to reach it you need to climb the Lombardona, a very challenging climb.

Wonderful places and views to enjoy in complete tranquility.
