Via Vandelli – Le Teste locality

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a nice vantage point to admire the mountains in the distance, but Le Teste also has something very special. If you look up, you'll notice three skulls in a glass box. In this place the severed heads of brigands captured by the ducal guards were hung as a warning.

Tambura Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

In addition to the breathtaking views and interesting paths to follow, the Tambura pass also has a particular history. Between 1738 and 1751, the Duke of Modena requested the construction of a road from his residence to his property near the Tyrrhenian Sea. Due to political complications, the road had to be built on the nobleman's property, which forced his engineer, Domenico Vandelli, to build it across the saddle of the Tambura pass. Unfortunately, the slopes on both sides are very steep, which made it necessary to use all his engineering knowledge to construct the endless hairpin bends that cross the pass. Today the route is only suitable for those walking or cycling.

Nearby Mount Tambura is one of the largest mountains in the Apuan Alps, easily visible from afar.

Mount Tambura Summit

Highlight • Summit

The summit of Monte Tambura with its 1895m is the second in the chain of the Apuan Alps. From here you can admire a splendid view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and Versilia to the West. Or looking east, towards Vagli, the valleys of the Garfagnana stretch out at our feet, surrounded by some of the most beautiful peaks of the Apennines.
