The Fortress of Mont'Alfonso, surrounded by nature, offers evocative views from any edge of its walls: the main town of the valley, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, is immediately accessible from the visitor's eye; the Garfagnana landscape, enclosed between Apuan Alps and Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and crossed by the Serchio River, is all to discover, with its chestnut woods, the peaks of marble mountains, its small ancient villages, parks and nature reserves.
