Panorama
Garfagnana is a paradise made of mountain peaks, fields, rivers and lakes. More than 60% of its territory is covered by forests and woods of which almost 2000 hectares are chestnut tree forests which were planted in medieval times from which lumber and food were derived.

The immense natural heritage, which is very well protected and taken care of, gains in value from nearby natural parks and reserves namely "Parco Alpi Apuane", "Parco dell'Orecchiella", "Oasi Lipu" and a "WWF Oasis". Ancient villages, Roman churches, Hermitages, Castles and Fortresses, while denoting the humility and cleverness of the population that inhabited this region during the Dark Ages, are testimony of the rich historical and architectonic heritage of the area.
