The Paths

Whether you're a pilgrim, a hiker, or simply a wayfarer, every itinerary here is an invitation to discovery, reflection, and observation, in a harmonious landscape where every element tells a long story of balance between man and nature.

Between history, nature and spirituality

The Lucca area is a land to be explored at a slow pace.

A dense network of historic and nature trails winds through villages, hills, woods, and countryside, bringing together past and present, faith and culture, silence and landscape.

Here, walking is an authentic experience: whether you follow an ancient pilgrimage route like the Via Francigena, a medieval trail linked to local saints, or a path winding through olive groves and monumental villas, every step reveals stories, traditions, and unexpected beauty.

Historic trails connect the soul to nature, passing Romanesque churches, hidden springs, small village museums, ancient woods, and panoramic views that reveal the region's complexity: from the plains to the Apennines, from the wine-growing hills to the beaches of Versilia.
