Bosco delle Fate
Hiking area
👍👍 Beautiful place surrounded by nature, but to do the entire ring it took me 1 hour and 30 minutes and not 40 minutes as reported on some signs, which I would modify, to prevent someone who is not well trained from taking an excursion in the midst of nature lightly. a forest that isn't really a walk.....

Birth House of Michelangelo Buonarroti Museum
Museum
😐 As described by many others - Michelangelo was born here but for me that was enough.
I am not an art student or historian and I do not know much about the works of Michelangelo - none of which were even visualised until many many years later.
That being said I did learn about some of his works and...

Valico dello Spino
Hiking area
👍👍 Secondo me, una delle più belle strade del confine Umbro/Toscano. Da fare nei giorni feriali, di giovedì non c’era praticamente nessuno, così da potersi godere strada con il proprio passo.

Sasso Spicco
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Luogo del silenzio, San Francesco passava moltissimo tempo a pregare intensamente in questo luogo.
Molto interessante tutto il Santuario della Verna con moltissime opere di Della Robbia e altri artisti fiorentini.

Sasso Di Frate Lupo
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A must, where you can find the history and the traces of Saint Francesco. Originally the place was the opposite: La Verna was a nymph who protected thieves and bandits hiding inside the forest. Only after the crhistians arrival, the place changed totally in the one you can see. A walk around those p...

Eremo della Casella
Catholic church
👍 Siamo partiti da Fragaiolo e dopo circa un'ora e venti di cammino in mezzo ai castagneti siamo arrivati all'Eremo. Tra l'altro ottobre è tempo di castagne! Bella cappellina raccolta, un bel prato, organizzato x una eventuale grigliata, un bel panorama e una grande pace.

Roccia di Adamo
Scenic spot
👍 Una guglia di rocce basaltiche in cima alla quale restano i pochi, pittoreschi ruderi del castello; sotto una piazzetta con un suggestivo insieme di edifici in pietra e la chiesa di San Miche Arcangelo. A parte qualche barriera e qualche striscia di nastro bianco e rosso, nulla vieta di entrare tra...

Archaeological Museum of Casentino
Archaeological museum
👍👍 A "small" but interesting Archaeological Museum that is undoubtedly worth a visit. The collection of pre-Roman idols found on Mount Falterona is very beautiful. The Museum is also totally accessible to the blind and visually impaired, as well as the physically disabled.

Santa Maria del Sasso
Shrine
👍👍 In this Sanctuary - a characteristic place of the Casentino - everything originated with the apparition of the Madonna on 23 June 1347. The Virgin gave the little Caterina, aged 7, the message: "Purity and love of God", together with gods pods full of blood, a harbinger of the plague that spread the...

Castello di Gressa
Castle
😠 You don't enter to visit the tower, you can only get to the small church, renovated but closed and sealed by a plastic sheet, and to get there you also have to pass through private property Mr. Dini cares a lot about his property and defends it with a large chained dog that barks very threateningly....
