Wild Camping Paladini

When you do want to head out from the site, you’ll be doing so on foot or by bike as there’s no vehicle access. Handily, these are also the best ways to see the best of what the immediate area has to offer, thanks to some tracks that were put in place during medieval times to lead between hilltop villages. A popular route from the camp is the three-kilometre trail that leads to the walled village Castiglione di Garfagnana where you can see the medieval bridge and have a swim in the river that flows beneath. If you do have access to your own wheels (either two or four will do), you can travel a little further afield, such as 20 kilometres away to the hilltop Verrucole Fortress, thought to date back to the 11th century. Nearby is the Selva del Buffardello Adventure Park, where you can see the forest from a different perspective from one of the 10 treetop adventure trails.
