If you are among those who like to spend holidays away from home and relatives, possibly in an isolated place where appreciate the magic of nature in winter and the silence of the mountains peaks…
If you are among those who love the bright starry sky, the scents of the forest, or if you’re simply a lover of winter activities…
Then today’s article is dedicated to you.
We selected some ideas/events dedicated to all those who would like to spend the Christmas holidays on our Apennines. A border mountainous area between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany that still represents a wild place and that offers the most loyal landscapes and panoramas that are difficult to repeat.

Crossing of the Onferno Caves with a visit to the Nativity scene in the Grotto
As per tradition, on Sunday 26 December every hour from 10.00 to 18.00 and Friday 31 December at 10.00, 11.30 and 15.00 in Gemmano (province of Rimini) the visit to the Onferno Caves and its Nativity scene returns.
The crossing includes a route that passes through the caves from the lower entrance to the upper one: a route that is not part of the usual “tourist path”, and that can be done exclusively during the winter period, so as not to disturb the bat nursery.
Along the way, there’s a fascinating nativity scene in the cave.
