    Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi

    Posted by roedeer 15 July 2007

    Beautiful forested national park up in the Apennines.

    In late June we felt we virtually had the national park to ourselves.

    Wildlife is protected here so, unusually for southern Europe, you will (if you're quiet and alert!) actually see wild boar, deer, as well as numerous butterflies, wild flowers...

    Refreshingly cooler up in the mountains too.

    40km east of Florence. You can fly Ryanair to Forli then drive 30km south to pretty town of St Sofia which is on the edge of the national park.

    Directions on the official website: www.parks.it/parco.nazionale.for.casentinesi/Earr.html
