The mountains
Situated between the Apennines and the sea,
the Apuan Alps, recognised as one of the most distinctive mountainous
areas in Italy, create a natural curve protecting the hills and plains
below.
The peculiarity of this mountainous range is the variety of the shape and form of its peaks. Here you can find endless marble, spas and mineral water springs (known for their low salt content), streams, woods and numerous caves, including the largest and deepest (1210 m depth) cave in Europe called "Antro" of Mount Corchia.

An infinite number of plants and flowers are protected
in the Natural Park of the Apuan Alps, which extends to the Provinces of Massa - Carrara
and Lucca.
