Discover Pavullo Nel Frignano

Pavullo Nel Frignano combines varied landscapes with trails, museums and special cultural sites. Those planning a trip with their family can combine short discoveries, longer hikes and cultural experiences here. When choosing your holiday apartment or holiday home, it is worth considering your preferred daily activities: nature lovers, cyclists and travellers interested in culture will find different focal points for their planning.

Circular routes and trails for active days

A suitable introduction for families is L’Anello del bosco incantato. The circular trail is around 2 km long and offers a special combination of nature and playful learning along the way. QR codes allow you to learn more about an animal’s characteristics and listen to its description. This also makes the trail suitable as a shared discovery for different age groups during a day of holiday, without overestimating its length.

For more comprehensive tour planning, the Carto-Guida dei Sentieri del territorio di Pavullo nel Frignano includes 17 hiking trails, 4 historic routes and 8 new MTB and e-bike trails. Depending on your preferred focus, you can choose between hiking, historic routes and cycling tours. The Sentiero CAI 500 Val Panaro crosses the entire municipal area of Pavullo nel Frignano from north to south and connects it with the town of Sestola. Those planning several active days can already take these different trails into account when choosing their holiday base.

Landscape between rocky spurs and nature reserve

Castello di Montecuccolo stands on a rocky spur and overlooks the valleys of the Scoltenna and Leo torrents. The site therefore offers a striking landscape impression, with the location of the building itself becoming part of the visit. Guided tours of the complex and of the permanent and temporary collections of the CEM Centro Museale di Montecuccolo are available. Reservations for guided tours of Castello di Montecuccolo are mandatory at least 7 days before the desired date. This information is particularly important for your holiday planning if the visit is to become a fixed part of the trip.

The Sassoguidano Nature Reserve covers 280 hectares in the municipality of Pavullo nel Frignano. It includes a wooded plateau, the rocky ridge of Cinghio di Malvarone and the valley of the Lerna stream. Those primarily seeking nature experiences from their holiday apartment in Pavullo Nel Frignano can use these different landscape forms as a guide when putting together their excursions.

Museums, art and regional stories

The CEM Centro Museale di Montecuccolo houses Raffaele Biolchini’s “Donazione” and Gino Covili’s “Il Paese Ritrovato” art collections. The collection of the Museo Naturalistico del Frignano is also part of the CEM. The combination of art collections and a natural history collection offers different ways of engaging with the region and is suitable for a day of holiday in which culture and landscape come together in thought.

The Museo en plein air del Frignano in Lavacchio displays sculptures, paintings and mosaics by national and international artists from the 1980s. Lavacchio is also home to the Chiesa di Sant’Anna, considered one of the most significant examples of a 17th-century rural church in this area. Travellers interested in culture can therefore explore various themes: outdoor art, a historic church and the collections of the museum centre.

La Via delle Fiabe begins in Pavullo and extends through nineteen hamlets. Along this artistic and tourist route, the focus is on characters and anecdotes that tell of the history and traditions of the Pavullo area. This makes the route a way to incorporate regional stories into the trip and get to know the area not only through individual sights.
