Guide: Stefano Sartini
The Alpe della Luna massif is undoubtedly one of the wildest of the entire Apennines: among the dense forests that almost entirely cover these rugged mountains, the presence of man is limited to a few small clusters of houses scattered here and there, like the one of Monteviale, from where our excursion will start. We will enter thick beech forests dominated by centuries-old trees, visit the remains of the Gothic Line and finally reach the top of Monte dei Frati, from which we will be able to admire the majestic Ripa della Luna. On the way back we will follow the Presalino stream and then reach the enchanting Specchio della Luna.
