September 15, 2023,SOFT 01 - Anello da Castagno d'Andrea (M. Falterona)

Ring between chestnut and beech forests, steep in the upper part, near the Giogo di Castagno, with numerous changes of direction, but doable even for the less experienced. The stretch of ridge is open and panoramic, followed by an easy descent through beautiful beech woods. You reach two important peaks such as Monte Falterona and Monte Falco.
