Regnano circular via Scavi di Tea
Starting and finishing in Regnano Villa, this medium length walk climbs through locally important chestnut forest to reach part of the watershed that separates the Aulella and Serchio river basins. The ridge is also the border between la Lunigiana and la Garfagnana, providing excellent views down the valleys of both. On reaching the road that crests the ridge you will find a picnic area to your right. An information board gives details of a nearby archeological site (Scavi di Tea) that can be visited by following the short way-signed path into the forest. The route back follows a wide foresters’ track that winds and zigzags its way down to Regnano Villa.
