Embark on a moderate hike through the southern Apuan Alps in Tuscany, Italy, covering 7.1 miles (11.5 km) with an elevation gain of 2205 feet (672 metres). This route, typically taking around 4 hours and 30 minutes, offers diverse terrain from natural paths and dirt roads to sections along an aqueduct, providing consistent gradients and ample shade. You will discover spectacular panoramic views stretching from the mountains to the sea, passing the ruins of the church of San Rocco at Campo all'Orzo and the impressive Grotta all'Onda.
While generally rated as moderate, the trail's length and elevation gain demand good fitness and a habit of walking. Sure-footedness is essential due to varied surfaces, including rocky areas and staircased segments. For added stability and comfort on the ascents and descents, trekking poles are recommended to help you navigate the route safely.
This trail is notable for its rich history and unique features. Grotta all'Onda, a major highlight, is a prehistoric cave continuously inhabited for thousands of years, from the Paleolithic era by Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens up to the Bronze Age. The route also features the intriguing aqueduct path and the “scala santa” leading to Campo all'Orzo, making it one of the best in the region for its natural beauty and historical depth.
