What a beauty, this oak tree! Found it while on an autumn walk in the Bologna Apennines, just above Porretta Terme.
The pretty mountain village of Madognana, right above Porretta Terme, is reached on foot from the town’s center after a short but steep hike in the woods. The place exists since at least the 13th century, although the village formed at the end of the 16th century. Today, only a bunch of families live in Madognana all year round, while others, who inherited the old stone houses from previous generations, mainly visit during summer. I’ll be leading tours in the area, contact me via the blog for info.
Happy Sunday from Porretta Terme, the main town of the Bologna Apennines, known since Roman times for its thermal waters. Hiking trails depart right from the town center (photos in the coming week).
Autumn walk in the Bologna Apennines.
One of my favorite places to go hiking near Bologna is the Regional Park ‘Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell’Abbadessa’, to the immediate south-east of the city. Many panoramic views and the fascinating 'calanchi', soil erosion produced by the effect of run-off water on clay terrain - they give the landscape a wild, rugged beauty.
“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.” Nathaniel Hawthorne Happy 1st day of October! Pictured: Lago della Ninfa, located at the foot of Mount Cimone, the highest peak in Emilia-Romagna.
