My latest walk was from Cigarello, Carpineti to Valcava and back via Pantano. On the map this looks easy, but one climbs, descends and then has to face another stiff climb to Valcava before descending back down to Cigarello. Valcava and Cigarello have a 200m height difference .

The first part goes though some fairly wild country, skirting round some calanchi (badlands), then along the side of a deep gorge to Croveglia, then through some woods to Velcava.

At Valcava the landscape changes dramatically to a gentle green countryside with scattered hamlets that reminds me of the Cotswolds, also there is a fantastic view of the Apennines from here. The strong fresh spring colours made this part of the walk most enjoyable.
