Torrechiara Castle is one of the best preserved fortresses in all of Emilia-Romagna. Climbing up to the castle from the paved road is quite hard, while the dirt paths that wind around it are particularly beautiful.

View of Castello di Torrechiara

Highlight • Viewpoint

The little square at the foot of the Castle climb (to be done in one breath and with clenched teeth) is very nice for a coffee break

Fragno Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This beautiful panoramic climb connects Calestano and Langhirano. The ascent is challenging from every side, but the view from the top repays the effort. At the top there are a couple of benches in the shade of gazebos.

Bar Artcafè Calestano

Highlight • Cafe

In Calestano there is no place called "Bar Artcafè", but it is likely that you are looking for Antico Caffè, the reference bar and wine bar in the center of the town
