The "San Paolo in Alpe" bivouac, recently built inside an old residential structure, is located in the mountainous part of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, more precisely in the province of Forlì-Cesena, in the municipality of Santa Sofia. The building is divided into two parts: one is always open and available as a temporary shelter, while the other is used as a managed bivouac, accessible by reservation. The building is located on a plateau at an altitude of 1,030 meters and lies entirely within the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park. The surrounding landscape is characterized by open grazing areas, immersed in a forest landscape of high environmental value that extends to the Apennine ridge, which includes the Sasso Fratino Integral Nature Reserve, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.

A short distance from Badia Prataglia is Campo dell’Agio (photo above), a large meadow on the edge of the forest that can be reached on foot and by mountain bike from the town square and by car by turning left next to the Il Carbonile inn, a couple of kilometers beyond Badia Prataglia in the direction of Passo dei Mandrioli. Campo dell’Agio, at 1026 meters above sea level, is also a large equipped area with a refuge, fountain, stoves and many tables at the beginning of the forest. The place is a real joy for families with children, but also a reference point for trekking lovers. In fact, it is the starting and finishing point of various itineraries that wind and intertwine in the famous Badia Prataglia Biogenetic Natural Forest, now included in the Casentinesi Forests National Park.

The refuge, not managed, is located at an altitude of 1234 m. above sea level inside the Casentinesi Forest National Park, along the road that from the Camaldoli Hermitage, passing through Prato alla Penna, leads to Badia a Prataglia.

Valpisella is a stone building dating back to the first half of the 19th century. More recently the building was renovated and taken over by the ANPI of Forlì. Today it is possible to use the services present in the structure (bathrooms, kitchen and dining room) and stay overnight upon reservation. During the summer months the ANPI organizes various cultural events, you can consult the dedicated Facebook page for further information.

Magical, fairytale-like San Paolo in Alpe. The preserved ruins bear the memory of the devastation carried out on 12 April 1944 by the Wehrmacht troops, who prevailed with overwhelming forces and heavy artillery on the partisan position, set fire to the church and the houses of the village, attacking the civilian population. Today, the silence that reigns on the esplanade, desolate and windswept, together with the merit of the conservative restoration carried out, give the whole an austere and solemn aura that is imprinted in the memory. It's a shame that Komoot doesn't allow you to post videos that would pay better homage to the place than a single photo can
