The Pietra di Bismantova is a characteristic mountain of the Reggio Apennines, 1041 meters high. Located in the municipality of Castelnovo ne 'Monti, a town that rises on its slopes, in the province of Reggio Emilia, it looks like a narrow plateau with steep walls, which stands isolated among the Apennine mountains.
Stop here for a photo and a stop before the descent into the woods ..

The most characteristic and peculiar relief of the whole Tuscan-Emilian Apennines owes its name to the Etruscan "man" (stone) and "tae" (altar, due to its flat shape)

Parking lot is easy to reach and from there you have a great view of the rock formation. We also saw all kinds of climbers on the rock. There are also some possibilities to have a drink.
