Appennino Tosco-Emiliano — ridge, passes and rock landscapes
The northern Apennine ridge links upland grasslands, woods and valleys. Passo del Cerreto and Pietra di Bismantova offer different ways to get to know this national park.

Aus der Quelle
The Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park follows part of the northern Apennine ridge between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. The park authority describes forests, upland grasslands, deep valleys and mountain lakes. The Pietra di Bismantova is a flat-topped rock within the park. The map shows the start of an official walk at Passo del Cerreto.
Redaktionelle Einordnung
At Cerreto, a road pass gives access to paths into the higher ground. At Bismantova the terrain reads differently. A flat cap of rock rises above the surrounding fields, which makes its shape clear from some distance away. The two places show why a single viewpoint can only give a partial picture of the park.
Empfehlung
Choose a trail from the park authority’s current network. Passo del Cerreto is one possible starting point, while the official Bismantova walk starts from Piazzale Dante. Check weather, route closures and the difficulty of the specific walk before leaving.
