Hiking experiences between mule tracks and a circular trail

The “Scarpinata della Garfagnana” was a two-day hiking event along old mule tracks and forest trails. Its programme included passing through Colle as well as a stop and visit there. Another route is the circular trail “Anello Castelnuovo Garf. - Gragnanella - Colle - Torrite - M. Alfonso - Castelnuovo Garf.”. It leads to Sillicano via an unpaved road in the direction of Loc. Casale–Colle.
