One of the things I am most asked for about Bagni di Lucca is information on walking trails in the area. The villages that make up Bagni di Lucca are beautiful and there are old mule trails between most of them.
The trails are reasonably well marked once you find them and it is great fun to walk between the villages. The forest is not too dense and the views can be spectacular.
I visited the Information Centre and found a couple of maps.
The orange lines represent roads. The orange broken lines are unsealed roads. The green lines are walking, mountain bike and horse trails and the broken green lines are waking tracks.
On this map the coloured lines represent walking trails, the double black lines are the roads and the broken black lines are unsealed roads.
You can find the originals at the Information Centre in La Villa. It is in Via Umberto I, not far from the Comune building. The young women who work there are very helpful.
Those walking tracks are some of the best assets Bagni di Lucca has.
I’ve been on a couple of them. It is a fun thing to do.
Thanks Debra, this is really helpful. We are often put off doing the village walks as we are not sure yet where to go and where to follow!
I’m pleased to help. These tracks are great. Once you find the start they are reasonably well marked.
You should invite Rick Steves to come take a hike – maybe it would ease the crush at CT if people discovered Bagni di Lucca! 😉
What a good idea!
What a lush and picturesque place to walk. I really enjoyed your photos!
Hi Debra, I heard a private company has put some new swings etc in the park at la villa.
Is it just a rumour ?
I don’t know, I will investigate.
Walking in BDL was one of my most favorite things. Good for my health and my spirit! The maps are great. Thanks for sharing.
We walk we did from Pieve was great, a perfect day in the sunshine.
