In the municipality of Coreglia Antelminelli. We head to Gromignana and begin a long climb to the town of Gallita, where the asphalt ends. We're at the mouth of the Bernacciolo. From here, several dirt roads depart, one of which (on the right) leads to the Orrido di Botri, a deep canyon carved out by the Botri stream with towering, vertical walls ideal for canyoning. We descend towards Crocialetto on a magnificent, long dirt road, along which, in the second section, there are several houses immersed in the wild nature of the area. From Crocialetto, you can then descend to Coreglia Antelminelli or, via a dirt path with closed barriers, you can descend towards the intersection of the Coreglia-Pistroso-Barga road, which is a bit technical.

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.

In the beautiful Garfagnana region, between the famous Tuscan towns of Lucca and Barga, lies the Ponte della Maddalena (Devil's Bridge) next to the picturesque village of Borgo a Mozzano. Built over the river Serchio, the Ponte della Maddalena is not only one of the most beautiful bridges in the region to see. It is also a bridge with a long history full of special legends, the first stories of which date back to the 11th century. Nobody knows exactly when the construction of this impressive bridge began. It probably happened around the year 1100, on the orders of Matilda di Canossa. The first legend surrounding the bridge originated from this period and it was given its nickname the 'Devil's Bridge'. In Italian it is also called Ponte del Diavolo. Around that time, a man named Saint Julian was working on the construction. Because the work was hard and slow, he decided to make a pact with the devil. The devil would finish the bridge in one night, in exchange for the soul of the first living creature to cross the bridge. This happened, only Saint Julian made sure that it was a dog that crossed the bridge first and not a human. It seems that the devil is still furious today… Source: https://www.toscanetips.nl/blog/ponte-della-maddalena-bezoeken

The Rocca di Gallicano still appears as it appeared in 1488. At that time it was part of the defensive fortification system of the Republic of Lucca.

The place of worship stands at the foot of a large sheer wall. According to tradition, it was built precisely on the spot where, around the year 1000, a shepherdess went to draw water; Before his eyes a statue of the Virgin Mary appeared which is still an object of devotion today.

It is also popularly known as the Devil's Bridge: probably due to its unconventional appearance and the daring technique with which it was built, a legend has flourished around it (which is also common to other similar works). It is said that the builder, having fallen behind schedule in completing the work and fearing the heavy penalty that the client would have made him pay, turned to the devil. The latter, in exchange for the help, had agreed that, immediately after the end of the work, he would take the soul of the first person to cross the bridge. And when, once the work was finished, he demanded his compensation by asking the man to cross the bridge, he freed a cat, thus mocking the devil.
