Campigna: Forest Trails and Nature Experiences

Campigna is a destination for anyone who wants to experience the forest not merely as a backdrop, but as the true focus of their journey. Fir and beech forests shape the Bidente Valley; near the ridge, the forest gives way to pure beech woodland. There are also nature trails, observation points and Monte Falco, which, at 1,657 metres, is one of the peaks surrounding Campigna. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Campigna can therefore plan their stay around nature experiences, outdoor activities and the area's distinctive history.

Forest Trails Offering Different Experiences

The “Sentiero Natura Campigna” leads through the Fosso Abetio and an old reforested area with silver firs. At observation points, visitors learn about the natural and cultural significance of this tree. The trail therefore combines an immediate forest experience with an informative explanation of the landscape.

Another perspective is offered by the educational trail “Alberi che toccano il cielo”. It begins in Campigna at Strada delle Cullacce and leads through remarkable sections of forest with monumental trees. Its gravel surface, several rest areas and the option of covering the trail on foot or by bicycle make it a self-contained option for planning your day. Here, you can choose between a walk and a bike ride without losing sight of the character of the forest.

A Short Nature Trail in the National Park

“Un sentiero per tutti…i sensi – Campigna” is located in Campigna, in the heart of the Casentinesi Forests National Park and within the State Biogenetic Reserve. The trail is easy and 350 metres long. This makes it suitable as a short route if, in addition to the forest, you would like to take in other impressions during the day. The Campigna area was recognised as a biogenetic nature reserve in 1976. The forest around the village is also an important bionatural habitat with numerous animal species and diverse, lush flora.

Historical Traces in the Forest Area

Campigna also has a historical side. Viale dei Tigli once attracted numerous travellers, writers and poets. The 18th-century grand ducal palace was converted into a hotel and served the House of Lorraine as a hunting lodge until the last century. This past adds a glimpse into the area's former use and significance to the nature experiences.

Getting There and Finding Your Way

Campigna can be reached from the towns of the Romagna plain and from the Tuscan side via the hairpin bends of the Bidentina state road. The journey therefore follows a mountain road and should be taken into account when planning your trip. An information point is located in Campigna to help with orientation on site.

When choosing your accommodation, the main question is what type of stay you prefer: short nature trails, longer forest explorations on foot or a route by bicycle. Accommodation in Campigna is suited to a trip where the landscape, forest and historical impressions are intended to shape the rhythm of each day.
