Embark on the From Casoli to Greppolungo loop tour, a moderate hike that covers 6.1 miles (9.9 km) with a significant elevation gain of 1915 feet (584 metres). You can expect to complete this journey in about 3 hours and 43 minutes. The trail offers a diverse experience, winding through old paths, mule tracks, and some asphalt roads. You'll encounter sections with decent slopes, leading you through green meadows and rocky areas. As you hike, you'll pass through chestnut and olive groves, and parts of holm oak forest. A notable feature is the ancient village of Casoli, where artistic graffiti adorns many houses, marking your starting point. Be prepared for strong uphill sections and a short, narrow passage between rocks.
The loop tour begins in the ancient village of Casoli. It is advisable to carry sufficient water, as there are no springs available for refilling beyond Greppolungo. The best seasons for this hike are spring and autumn, when you can enjoy milder weather and vibrant natural scenery. This trail requires good fitness and sure-footedness due to its varied conditions and significant ascents.
This trail is part of the "Camaiore Antiqua" project, which aims to rediscover old paths and local historical beauty in the municipality of Camaiore, Tuscany. As you hike, you can explore ancient sites like castle ruins and enjoy breathtaking panoramas. You will pass through the historic village of Greppolungo, once home to a feudal castle, offering views of the Romanesque church of San Martino and the sea. The route also includes the ruins of Montebello Castle and the small hamlet of La Culla, which provides fantastic coastal panoramas.
