On Saturday the Alta Via dei Pastori was opened. The walking path takes you from San Cassiano to Monte Prato Fiorito.
The mayor officially opened the path.
Aldo Lanini from Pegaso Trekking was the initiator and the one who brought together a group of people to organise the project.
San Cassiano di Controni was once the most populated of the Bagni di Lucca villages. It is the largest in area with several hamlets.
The information board tells the story.
This is a wonderful initiative. There are dozens of old mule trails between the villages of Bagni di Lucca. It is the perfect way to see this gorgeous area. I’m sure this new path will be put to good use.
Thank you Agostino for being there and taking the photos to share.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
What is the distance? Will you walk it in the future?
It opened the day we left for Puglia. We will walk it when we return.
I look forward to reading about it.
An excellent initiative. Hope there will be many more.
Me too.
I’m sure the views only the trail would be fabulous. Looking forward to seeing some more photos.
