Casentino Forests National Park, excursions and suggestions
A forest in Romagna? Is that possible you may be asking and it really is! On the Apennines straddling Tuscany and Romagna, in the Provinces of Arezzo, Florence and Forlì-Cesena, there is a charming protected area, a place that is truly unexpected.
The Park’s unique and extremely varied features make it an ideal destination for excursions on foot, by bicycle or even by canoe on enchanting Ridracoli Lake. Visitors can also go trekking through the ancient forests, where fallow and roe deer, boars and wolves still roam.
And if you now want to know what treasures this area boasts, here’s just a few examples:
1 - Acquacheta Waterfall
A 70-metre drop, tumbling over rocks. An explosive impact, that was even narrated by Dante in his epic Divine Comedy.
2 - Campigna Forest
White spruces, unspoilt nature that meets art and culture; indeed, it is home to 18th-century Granducale Palace.
3 - Mount Falterona
This is the main mountain group in the Park and the perfect place for truly unforgettable excursions. And exploring the southern slopes leads to Capo d’Arno spring, believed to be the source of the famous river.
4 - Ridracoli village and dam
The village of Ridracoli boasts the ruins of a mediaeval castle, a poetic location and wonderful views. This is where the trail begins that leads as far as the famous dam, the source of water for the whole of Romagna. It is possible for visitors to take ferryboat or canoe excursions on the lake.
