The "view of Canossa" offers one of the most evocative panoramas of the Reggiano Apennines. The famous castle stands on the badlands, and the gaze sweeps from its ruins to the surrounding hills, the nearby fortresses of Rossena and Rossenella, and the Apennine mountain range.

Characterized by clay ridges devoid of vegetation and an imposing fault known as the "Linea dei Gessi", they offer a unique microclimate for biodiversity. What to do and see Panoramic trekking: The area is crossed by numerous hiking trails, ideal for admiring the badlands and the plain below. A very popular itinerary is the loop that connects Quattro Castella, Bergonzano, and the Madonna della Battaglia (about 10 km). Oasi Lipu di Bianello: The badlands are located close to the Oasis, a protected area rich in oak woods and ideal trails for birdwatching.

Rossena Castle is a splendid medieval fortress located in the municipality of Canossa, in the province of Reggio Emilia, considered one of the best-preserved strongholds in the entire Matildic area. Built around 960 by Count Adalberto Atto (great-grandfather of Matilde di Canossa), it stands on a striking outcrop of reddish volcanic rock and originally arose as an impregnable war machine to defend the nearby and main Castle of Canossa.
