My happy place to escape the heat: the Bolognese Apennines, the mountains an hour and a half south of Bologna. Slide 1: on the trail leading to the top of Monte Spigolino, 1827m (name derives from its unmistakable pointy peak). Steep. Rocky. Loved it. Slide 2: on a stretch of the Alta Via dei Parchi (the complete trek traverses the entire Tuscan-Emilian Apennines), looking toward Monte Cupolino and the Duca degli Abruzzi mountain hut, the first ever built in the northern Apennines, dating to 1878. Slide 3: Lago Scaffaiolo, in a magnificent position by the ridge that divides Emilia from Tuscany, surrounded by peaks that reach almost 2,000 meters in altitude. Many are the legends associated with this small lake, one - even cited by Italian author Boccaccio in the Middle Ages - said that throwing a stone in the lake would trigger violent storms. In reality, the unexpected changes in weather are due to its geographic position. Slide 4: me, ruling it at the Strofinatoio Pass, 1847m. 💪🏻😬😂 Hike skillfully led by @cai_bologna_escursionismo_ 👏🏻👏🏻
With currently 34C (93F) in Bologna, I’m dreaming of last Sunday when I was in my beloved Dolomites, hiking up and down the Catinaccio group. Here I was at the Santner Pass, 2734m (8969ft), with the Latemar group in the background, enjoying the delightful early morning crisp air. #takemehigher
Pretty sunset on the hills of Bologna.
Marvelous view from Cresta di Gallo in the Regional Park of the High Modenese Apennines, my favorite 😍
Natural beauty. My kind of beauty. Shot in the Regional Park of the Vena del Gesso Romagnola, about an hour south-east from Bologna.
Approaching the peak of Mount Ventasso (1727m) in the Reggiano Apennines - famous, as the name implies, for the strong winds that may blow at the top (not the case last Sunday when I was there).
