Emilia Romagna Castles

A ring that will allow us to walk the last stretch of the third stage of the Sentiero dei Ducati, which crosses an area where we can grasp the meaning of daily life through the centuries. In fact, the route is punctuated by several villages and tower houses, typical Apennine buildings, with their minor stories, in a landscape where agricultural activity alternates with wooded areas. The stage is also characterised by vast views both towards the Po Valley and the Reggio Emilia and Parma Apennines.
Lunch-party with the small but lively community of the village of Borzano di Canossa.
