We all know autumn is the most colorful season of the year and there is nothing better than living it surrounded by nature.
In the silence of the woods, in the company of its “inhabitants”, delighted by its scents: an almost mystical experience, able to regenerate us as we never thought.
The best time is between the end of October and the beginning of November, when green gives way to a thousand shades, from brown to purple-red, from yellow to orange.
A feast for the eyes and the soul, just enter the woods to breathe pure beauty.

A life-long phenomenon of custom in Canada and the United States, in recent years the foliage (the period in which the leaves change color) is becoming a form of tourism in Italy too. In Autumn every wood/forest is subject to this transformation, but there are also some special places where the phenomenon takes on extraordinary proportions.

There’s no need to go far: one of the most colorful forests in Europe is very close, easily accessible, and even dedicates a festival to the Fall Foliage. Obviously, we’re talking about the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park, recently awarded by Unesco .
Lying on the slopes of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, they boast an exceptional geographical position between two great areas, the Mediterranean one and the European one, with over 40 species of trees: an authentic explosion of colors and different shades that make this landscape a magical and natural palette.
Vast beech woods and, at lower altitudes, maple, lime, and elm woods with a high rate of foliage await us.
