This itinerary leads you into the heart of the Parco delle Alpi Apuane, highlighting its peculiarities. Along the road to Vagli Sotto, you can see the artificial lake of Vagli which hides the submerged village of Fabbriche. When the lake is drained, the ancient village, founded by ironmongers from Brescia, comes hauntingly to life. A must to visit is the San Regolo Parish Church, the Casa Abrami Museum and S. Agostino, a romanesque church (XI century). After going up to Vagli di Sopra, you soon reach Campocatino: an ancient pastoral area located on the sides of fields at the foot of Monte Roccandagia, which now is the LIPU Oasis. A track, easy to walk along, shows you the natural characteristics of this basin formed in the glacial era. About a 30 minute walk takes you to the S. Viano Hermitage. From Campocatino you descend to Gorfigliano and at Gramolazzo the artificial lake’s green waters reflect the profile of the highest mountain in the Apuan chain, Monte Pisanino.
