Romagnese, between woods and nature even in winter

Heading up towards the Apennines, in the heart of the Alto Oltrepò, is this small village set in a highly evocative natural context, an ideal place for those seeking refuge away from the city and in the midst of woods, hills and dozens of kilometres of trails to be travelled on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback between 500 and 1,300 metres. Its main 'attractions' are the Pietra Corva Botanical Garden, a corner of well-kept nature that invites to peaceful walks, and the Dal Verme Castle that rises above the roofs of the village dominating the Tidone Valley, a building constructed between the 14th and 15th centuries for defensive purposes and today the seat of the municipality. The village also preserves an important cultural heritage with traces of ancient architecture and old relics of rural traditions collected in the museum of rural art. Romagnese is synonymous with tranquillity and the perfect destination for those who want an authentic experience outside the traditional Christmas circuits, in a context of silence at the foot of the Apennines.
