CANCELLINO - LA LAMA

In the heart of the Casentinesi Forest Park, the itinerary faithfully reproposes the course of a Decauville railway, in use in the past century for deforestation and wood transport. A short and technically very easy route on a still finely conserved track, suitable for everyone despite the altitude and the conformation of the land. The return journey will follow the same itinerary.

Not to be missed:
after a short bike ride you can access the hundred-year-old beechwoods in the Park in an unspoilt environment where to feel all the power of undamaged nature. The Lama plateau the naturalistic heart of the Park, can be reached with very little effort.
