A wonderful view of the main mountains of the Apuan Alps

The coast of Monte Forato, between Cardoso and Fornovolasco, is of great beauty, although care must be taken when walking along it. From here, in fact, you can see from close range the famous "hole" in the rock that gives the mountain its name, a natural arch visible from both Versilia and Garfagnana.

It is always a satisfaction to be able to stay a while on peaks like these, the quarries represent the human devastation, the city with its noise is close by but up here nature always has the sceptre of command with its wild appearance even if time has faded it a bit due to human activity.

Typical Apuan peak, beautiful and crunchy, never banal due to the terrain that requires a bit of attention in some sections, obviously with the wet or worse snow things change drastically, there are also many climbing routes.

A modest peak (912 meters) of the Altissimo chain, Monte Folgorito is located on the border between the municipalities of Montignoso (Massa-Carrara) and Seravezza (Lucca). It seems that the name derives from the fact that its peak is a constant target of lightning and thunder during summer storms.

You can easily get to the archway.
