Itineraries
It is already clear from its name that: the Terre di Castelli (the Lands the Castles), in the hills of Modena, are dotted with fortresses, towers and fortifications, the legacy of a long and rich history. The ancient villages of the territory are in fact small historical treasures, also a trove of art and culture.
The Terre di Castelli extend from the plain to the Apennines. Here, in the municipality of Zocca, magic comes not only from the music of Vasco Rossi, but also from the colours of nature and the history of the villages surrounding the town.
Emilia-Romagna is perfect for cycling, and so is the province of Modena. Let's discover the Panaro river and its unique characteristics, step-by-step, on the cycle and pedestrian path that runs alongside it.
The Terre di Castelli are rich in history. These lands were inhabited since ancient times and still preserve the signs of a turbulent past, made up of disputes and power-struggles between families, but also of art and beauty such as churches, fortress and museums, that already tell us their story.
