Itinerary description

WARNING!
This trail has a via ferrata. Climbing equipment is required!
If you dont have it, take a turn to the right in the "Foce di Petroscana" waypoint and follow the trail in reverse.

This journey started at Pietrasanta train station where I took a bus at 6:00am to Cardoso.
I sugest to download the official CPP app (Teseo) once there is no buss information to those small cities on google maps.
The tracking starts and finishes right on the bus stop.
The first part is a litle bit hard.
The via ferrata is so cool and pretty easy.
When you rich the top the view is a breathtaking 360. You will see the arc and right above the imposing Pania della croce.
Going down the arc is another impressive view. I tryed to register with the cellphone but its impossible. You have to be there.
To return I choose a soft and relax path in the woods.
Don't leave tuscany without this hiking.
