Acceso: from Fornaci di Barga on the SR 445 through Filecchio: see also photo gallery picture no.1 A conversion also seems possible according to the map at see The access path to the river can be seen on the linked map. However, with 2x18 min. duration of the conversion and an even longer walk, this is not worthwhile. After all, the difference in altitude is only 100m for access without conversion.

Acceso: The "Gea 14" trail (Grande Escursione Appenninica) begins at the P2 access parking lot. Follow this path in the direction of Fontana Troghi-Monte Mosca. This takes you to the P2 access parking lot and the Rio Mariana (alternative entry E4). However, as the uppermost parts of the Mariana have nothing to offer, we recommend an entry further down at E3. To do this, head downhill from Ref. Casentini in a southeasterly direction. You come to a crossroads and take the path that leads at an acute angle to the left down to the stream (entry E3). This can also be read and seen on a sketch map in the book by "Caracal".
Recorrido: 13 rappels, first in the water-poor Rio Mariana, then, after the confluence with the left branch of the Rio Ribellino, long hike - with steps to downclimb - in the great canyon Orrido di Botri (Rio Pelago). Possibly many tourists coming upstream from the exit of the canyon.

Acceso: From the parking lot, continue along the road on a slope that first runs behind the soccer field and then, after a leftward haipin bend, descends through a chestnut forest into the valley behind the sports field. You reach the exit of the slope at a meadow with two vacation homes on the left (approx. 250 m from the sports field). On the right below the two houses on the edge of the slope is an old house with a barn. Walk along the edge of the meadow in the direction of this barn, past the barn, continue down the ridge and where the path loses itself in the forest, descend to the left without a path to the streambed.
Recorrido: Despite the long transfer route and the relative remoteness from the usual tourist routes, this tour is worthwhile in a lonely scenic setting. See photos and video.

Comentario: am Sportplatz
Acceso: If you want to do the whole tour, you will need two vehicles. However, if you get off before the last 40 m waterfall, you only need to drive to the entry point. Parking lot exit: From Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, head north on the SS-445 to Poggio. Turn left here and drive to the Lago di Vagli reservoir. Before the road crosses Torrente Edron on the lower right, a narrow tarred road branches off to the left and leads to Vergaia, a hamlet of a few houses on the northern shore of the lake. In this hamlet, the road passes above the houses and becomes a gravel track. Park your car a few hundred meters further on at a cemetery chapel. Entry to the parking lot: Take a second car back to the junction at the road to the reservoir and continue back to Poggio. Shortly before the village, turn right uphill towards Careggine. Approx. 1 km after Careggine, a road branches off to the right to the sports field (Campi sportivi). Follow this road downhill and just before the sports field turn left along the narrow tarmac road to the entrance of the sports field. Park your car here and the transfer distance is 15.2 km.
Regreso: After a 40 m high waterfall and an 8 m abseil point, you first walk approx. 100 m further along the streambed and reach another open 40 m waterfall. Here (above this waterfall) you can ascend to the left on an inconspicuous path back to the entry point (not tested by us). Once you have parked the car in Vergaia, however, you can rappel down this beautiful waterfall. Further downstream, you can see a stream flowing in from the left. Turn right here onto a path. A clearly recognizable path above the lake later leads north around a bay and further along the lake towards Vergaia. Another alternative is to be picked up by a boat at the mouth of the stream into the lake; this can be organized with the owner of the Albergo Le Alpi in Vagli di Sotto.

Acceso: From the parking lot and the large tree, a small road leads downhill in a southeasterly direction (to the cemetery - cimitero). Before the bridge over the stream, take the path down to the right, then cross the stream to the left and after this stone bridge, at a suitable point, descend to the right into the streambed of the Rio Selvano. Alternatively, you can drive down the small road and park your car at the cemetery. Also from here then in a southwesterly direction to the streambed.
Recorrido: Forest canyon, which gains in quality as it progresses. See also photos and video.

Comentario: P1 Friedhof
Acceso: From Florence westwards on the A 11 or from La Spezia southwards on the A 12, then branching off eastwards from the A 12 at Viareggio onto the A 11, we reach Lucca. From here, head north up the Fiume Serchio valley on the SP 20 to Borgo (a good 21 km) and then continue along the orographic right bank for another 9 km until a road turns off to the WSW towards Fábbriche di Vállico. We follow the road - SP 37 - along the dammed Turrite Cava through some tunnels and after a good 5 km we come to a bridge that leads over the river to the right to some dilapidated houses (Molini) (a few meters further on the main road you can see a campsite on the right - at the bottom - of the river). At the bridge there is enough space for the first vehicle. Continue with the second until you reach the first houses of Fábbriche (7.5 km from the junction) and turn right at an acute angle uphill to Vállico di Sotto (another 3 km). Here we can park our second vehicle in the square at the entrance to the village.

Levigliese: Inicio del Cañón
2026-05-10: A smooth descent made on 10/05/2026 is reported.
Acceso: We follow the forest road in a westerly direction. In a left turn it crosses the Levigliese. Enter here (stream still mostly dry) and walk downstream until you reach a water diversion (to the southwest) and the remains of a mill and a wooden footbridge. Here begins the actual descent.There is also a footpath from Vergemoli in a southwesterly direction down to some houses. There, however, it gets lost and you have to descend pathless (and arduous) to the stream.
Recorrido: 6 rappels, see photos and video

Acceso: From Florence westwards on the A 11 or from La Spezia southwards on the A 12, then branching off eastwards from the A 12 at Viareggio onto the A 11, we reach Lucca. From here we head north up the Fiume Serchio valley and after 36 km we reach the small town of Gallicano on the right bank of the Serchio. Here we turn west and head towards Fornovolasco. At first, the road runs above the Turrite Gallicano. After about 4 km you reach an area where the river is dammed. After driving along the small reservoir for about 1 km, we come to the junction where the road turns right up to Vergemoli. However, we continue straight on for about 300 m until the road crosses the Levigliese. Just before the bridge, there is space for the lower vehicle on the righthand side; the second vehicle takes us back to the junction and then up the winding road to Vergemoli. A few hundred meters before reaching the village, we park the second vehicle where a small forest road branches off to the left in a hairpin bend (to the right).
Regreso: Either (right) out onto the newly constructed path or up to the road bridge.

Serchio di Gramolazzo: Inicio del Cañón
Acceso: From the car directly into the creek, if necessary walk a few meters downhill on the left side of the creek before access.
Recorrido: At the beginning rappeling in a narrow, not very deep rocky gully - 1 rappel. Then the stream flows openly downhill in the forest, interrupted by interesting narrow passages. We pass a diversion structure on the left. In parts you can also go down in the forest at the edge of the stream. Then you climb and rappel again in rock gullies.

Regreso: When the streambed flattens and the gorge is over, a few more minutes in the gorge, then out to the left - about. UU you pass a barn in the light coppice, then you come to a large open space. We meet an old path that leads us NNO to the hiking trail "GT 189" (red marking). We follow it to the left up to the road and to the shelter on the road.

Acceso: From Lucca via Castelnuovo di Garfagnana northwards on the SR445 to Piazza al Serchio (or from Aulla on the same road southwards). Continue north and shortly after Piazza al Serchio turn left onto the SP51 towards Gramolazzo. Cross the Fiume Serchio and continue to Gramolazzo. In Gramolazzo, continue straight on through the town towards Minucciano. The road now climbs and after approx. 3-4 km before a tunnel, turn left off the SP51 towards Refugio Donegani. At the next junction we see a kind of brick-built bus shelter, a so-called Rifiugiola. Here we also find a signpost pointing downhill to the southeast along the "GT 189". We come up from there on the way back. We park the lower car here and continue straight ahead in the second car. Continue up this road. To the left below, you have a beautiful view of the S. di Gramolazzo forest gorge lying deep below. Pass a picnic area on the left below the road. After 4.6 km from the tunnel junction, park your car at the roadside. The Rifugio Donegani is located on the mountainside to the west, about 200 m further along the road we come to the Rifugio Val Serenaia (1100 alt.).

Acceso: We take the slope that branches off at the hairpin bend and leads us in a NNE direction to the stream. This is the entry point for the lower part (entry altitude 370 m above sea level). If you also want to take in the upper, not exactly overwhelming, part, continue in a southerly direction for a good 250 m after the hairpin bend until a slope branches off to the left (to Casa Henraux and Polla dell'Altissimo). Follow this road to the barrier (before the start of the hairpin bends). There we turn left on a track to the 'Bach' bed (560 m above sea level).
Recorrido: Hiking, downclimbing and rappeling in a largely open streambed.

Acceso: The small coastal town of Forte dei Marmi is located between Viareggio and (Marina di) Massa. Leave the A12 here (exit 'Versilia') and head north-east towards the small town of Seravezza (approx. 7 km from the highway exit). Before the bridge over the river, take the road on the left towards Azzano, which leads west past the center of Seravezza and up the Serra valley. About 1.5 km after Seravezza, we pass through the small roadside village of Malbacco. We then pass a large quarry (on the right). About 1.5 km after Malbacco, you can see the Serra flowing down to the left in a wide gravel bed. About 200 m after the Serra has been forced back into its narrow riverbed, a track branches off to the left towards the river. About 300 m further on and about 200 m before a left-hand bend, where the road crosses a stream coming down from the right, we park the first vehicle. You should take the trouble to walk down to the river to memorize the exit point (exit altitude 200 m above sea level) and continue with the second vehicle until the road turns south in a hairpin bend. Park the upper vehicle here (380 m above sea level).
Regreso: At the exit point visited (and possibly marked with cairns) turn left out to the road.
