The best road cycling routes around San Polo D'Enza

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

In Alta Val Baganza, between the villages of Cassio, Chiastre, and Casaselvatica, you can admire the Salti del Diavolo (Devil's Jumps), a rock outcrop that amazes those who travel on the roads and paths that pass through the area. They are powerful spires, towers, and rocky peaks that emerge abruptly for tens of meters from the surrounding terrain, dominating the forest and visible even from a distance. They are arranged along a ridge that crosses the valley and winds for 5 km, crossing the Baganza stream. For the local people, they still represent concrete proof of a legend from medieval times.

The Church of Sant'Antonino Martire in Compiano d'Enza (a hamlet in the municipality of Canossa, in the province of Reggio Emilia) is a Catholic place of worship dating back to the 16th century, whose documented origins date back as far as the year 1080. Main information History: Originally linked to the Monastery of S. Prospero in Reggio Emilia, the primitive church was destroyed by a landslide in the 15th century and rebuilt in its current position on a rocky hill overlooking the Enza valley. Architecture: It features a facade in classical forms, marked by pilasters and a sixteenth-century layout. Current state: The building and its appurtenances (bell tower and rectory) are currently in a state of semi-abandonment, although they offer a highly impactful panorama of the valley.

The Scurano lake is a small basin located in Scurano, a hamlet of the municipality of Neviano degli Arduini, in the province of Parma (Emilia-Romagna). It is found by going up from the Val d'Enza towards Scurano, positioned on the right along the road. In the past, it measured about 60,000 square meters in surface area, with a maximum depth of 7 meters. It reached its peak popularity between the '80s and '90s as a well-known destination for sport fishing and competitions. In recent years, it has lost its original function, going through periods of inactivity and being covered by aquatic vegetation. The area is frequented for nature trails and cycling or walking excursions, not far from the Monte Fuso Wildlife Center and the picturesque Cascata della Grondara.

The Val Baganza viewpoint is located on the hills of Barbiano, in the municipality of Felino (PR), precisely at Via Ricò, 19.

Val Baganza is a valley in the Parma Apennines carved by the Baganza stream, which extends for about 50 kilometers from its source on Mount Borgognone to its confluence with the Parma stream. It is a territory rich in history, medieval villages, unspoiled nature, and food and wine excellences. The Devil's Jumps: Spectacular narrow and elongated rock formations that cut across the valley, ideal for hiking
