Bobbio, a place along the Apennine bike tour, is worth a stop, both for the splendid cathedral and for the monastery founded by Saint Columbanus.

La Pietra Parcellara, an imposing black serpentinite ophiolite in the Val Trebbia (PC), probably owes its name to its characteristic "parcel" or scale-like shape, derived from the fractured geological structure of the rock. The term recalls the black rock scales that compose it, emerged from the Earth's mantle.

From the eastern side (from Agazzano) it is a long but rideable climb, the side from Travo is harder.
