CAI path 181

From Pieve San Lorenzo to Foce a Giovo

Approximately 12 km long, path 181 constitutes an opportunity to access the Apuan mountains, arriving by train.
From the station of Pieve San Lorenzo you descend slightly crossing two small streams, then go up a long mule track, touching the hamlet of Argigliano-Villa and crossing the channel of Rosceto, finally reaching Ugliancaldo.
From here, by road, to the nearby Maestà, where a long, well-practicable path begins which, passing through Forticello, climbs up to the large meadows of Poggio Baldozzana.
Beyond Poggio Baldozzana the path becomes for experts, advancing on the sharp coastal of Capradossa with some exposed passage, going down to Foce Siggioli. The path continues on the eastern slope of Pizzo d'Uccello in a false plane or slightly uphill but you need to overcome a steep stony canal with a cable guide, after which there is an easy but exposed passage. You reach Giovetto in a beech wood and with some ups and downs to the nearby Foce di Giovo.

Difficulty: E from Pieve San Lorenzo to Poggio di Baldozzana, EE from Poggio di Baldozzana to Foce a Giovo
