My first foray into the high Apennines this year did not start well. I wanted to do a stretch of “Crinale” on the 00 footpath from San Pellegrino in Alpe towards Lago Santo (Modena). The “Crinale” was in the clouds and walking in thick fog with high winds is no fun.

I switched to Monte Cimone which seemed to be quite free of cloud. From Doccia near Fumalbo I climbed up to Appicella di Cimone, skirted around Cimone ending up at Lake Ninfa.

For me the area around Cimone ( full of ski lifts) is not one of the most interesting walks I have done in the Apennines and Lake Ninfa was too crowded for my tastes.

I visited on the way back one of the “Celtic houses” a particular type of dwelling once used by Sheppard’s found only in this area. These buildings with the particular gable ends are also to be found in Brittany. Perhaps the most interesting thing I came across on this trip.
