In 1818, it was decided that a road would be built through the Apennine Mountains, linking up charming towns and villages like Barga, Castelvecchio Pascoli, Coreglia and many others.
Those wishing to base their stay in the area have a lovely choice of vacation rentals in Bagni di Lucca, nestled in a valley in this mountainous area.
Start off your walking holiday here with a visit to the stunning Frignoli Botanical Gardens in Fivizzano, located 850 metres above sea level. It's home to some exotic and ancient trees and the air is filled with the aromatic smells of strawberries, blackcurrants and raspberries. It’s open to the public from 15th April until the 15th September every day and the rest of the year it’s open only on weekdays.
