Bardi Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The castle (or fortress) of Bardi, built on an ophiolitic spur, is very impressive from every angle. If you have time, a visit is recommended (for a fee) to go in search of the ghost of Moroello, who is said to still live within the walls of the castle!

A climb immersed in the greenery of the Parma Apennines, the Montevacca pass (or Monte Vacà) was tackled by the Giro Donne in 2023. It has no impossible slopes and the asphalt is in excellent condition. On the brow, a plaque commemorates the so-called "beffa di Tasola", a victorious episode of the partisan Resistance in the area.

Vicolo delle Molini, Bedonia

Highlight • Historical Site

Bedonia is located in Tarotal, shortly after the narrow part of the valley from the Passo del Bocco widens greatly and makes room for quite modest agriculture. From Bedonia you can leave the Tarotal either direction Bardi and Po plain or you climb in the very high Ligurian mountains around Santo Stefano d'Aveto. Or you drive along the Taro towards Parma.
The main street bypasses the historic core of the town. And you miss something. Because this core is worth a coffee break. It has some bars and it is often typical Italian bustle.
So it's worth taking a short turn from the main road to the Centro and taking a short break.
