Nestled in the heart of the Furlo Gorge State Reserve

The Furlo is an incredibly preserved place: a true paradise for wilderness lovers. The Candigliano River, renowned for its rather unreal emerald color, meanders between the imposing rock walls of the Furlo Gorge, beauties shaped over millennia by the river. For successful selfies..

The Forest Reserve is located in an area rich in geological, palaeontological and historical wonders, from prehistoric times to the Etruscans and Roman civilisation, to the time of Benito Mussolini. The Reserve is a paradise for outdoor activities, with trails for walking and trekking, road cycling and mountain biking, climbing and water sports such as kayaking and canyoning. Marked trails have recently been improved to suit all levels of experience.
