Parco Regionale dei Laghi di Suviana e Brasimone

In medieval times this village was the site of an important mountain castle, of which only a few traces of the perimeter walls are still visible today, near the 18^th century church, located on a rocky headland overlooking Lake Suviana.

This charming hamlet, built between the 17^th and 19^th centuries, is nestled in a corner sheltered from the winds amid centuries-old chestnut trees, at the foot of Mount Calvi's rugged western slope.

The basin has an area of approximately 0.5 km², a maximum depth of 29 m and a capacity of about 6 million cubic meters of water, which are retained by the Scalere dam (35 m high). The Enea Brasimone Research Center is located on the southern shore of the reservoir, next to Villa Ruggeri (an early 1900s residence now housing the Agency's offices).

This reservoir is one of the largest bodies of water in the Emilian Apennines. It has an area of approximately 1.5 km², a maximum depth of 70 m and a capacity of 46 million cubic meters of water.

The park's highest mountain (1283 m) overlooks the Limentra di Treppio Valley. Its rugged mountainside features mixed broadleaf forests and replanted conifers that in the particularly steep sections are interrupted by rocky outcrops covered in sparse grassy vegetation and dotted with groups of short and meager European hop hornbeams, manna ashes and beeches.

The Poranceto Forest Museum is located in the middle of a large and picturesque chestnut grove. It is one of the park's visitor centers, providing information on the forest ecosystem and on the area's traditional chestnut growing and harvest activities.

Strategically positioned in the Limentra Valley, this hamlet has ancient origins. There used to be a medieval castle in Stagno that served to control the border between Bologna and Pistoia; it suffered numerous attacks and destruction and no trace of it remains today.
