Castello di Cireglio is a small mountain village surrounded by chestnut and acacia forests. Between forests, mountain trails and cultural themes, it offers a destination that allows for both active days and peaceful discoveries. Those who choose a holiday apartment in Cireglio will find a variety of starting points for planning their days according to their own preferences.

Literature and history around Castello di Cireglio

Castello di Cireglio is the birthplace of the writer and lexicographer Policarpo Petrocchi. The Policarpo Petrocchi Literary Park aims to preserve the memory of Policarpo Petrocchi and his work. At the same time, the park promotes Castello di Cireglio and the surrounding mountain area. This gives the village a clearly recognisable literary dimension in addition to its landscape.

Forest paths for various activities

The Itinerario del Sasso di Cireglio can be explored on foot, by mountain bike and on horseback. Another route, the Itinerario Alla riscoperta della Linea Gotica, runs along forest paths between Castello di Cireglio and Le Piastre. Both paths have different focuses and give you the opportunity to explore the mountain landscape at your own pace.

The hiking options also include the Cammino dell'Acqua in the Policarpo Petrocchi Literary Park in Castel di Cireglio. The circular route passes the three restored fountains Fontana del Leone, Le Fontanelle and Cèttore. From the Cammino dell'Acqua, Fontana Campari in the village of Le Piastre can be reached via a forest path. Those who want to combine walks with specific destinations will find a clearly arranged sequence of individual stops here.
