Just past Ponte Diana,on the Brennero road towards Abetone, is a track that takes you to a suspension bridge that gives access to a stony beach beside the Lima. Now that the weather is warming up it is a great time to look for it.
There is a rock to jump from into the river.
Beside the river there is a track leading to Pian di Fiume where there is a kiosk.
The tennis courts in Bagni di Lucca were opened today after a wonderful renovation. The courts are excellent and there is a new meeting place and cafe in the front. This is a welcome addition to Bagni di Lucca, especially with warm weather on the way.

What is “L’Ape Swap”?
It’s a fun aperitivo associated with the exchange of clothes and books.
How does it work?
For the clothing and /or books you bring, the staff will assign a value that corresponds to a sticker. You can use this sticker to “purchase” other items.
What to bring?
Bring a maximum of three clothing items and/or books. Make sure the clothes are washed and in good condition.
When to deliver?
To streamline the process, it’s recommended to bring the items on Sunday 5th May, starting at 2pm directly to the wine shop, Cantabruna in Fornoli.
Ape Swap Baratto e Vino is a sustainable aperitivo associated with the exchange of clothing and books. It is organised by the municipality of Bagni di Lucca in collaboration with Auser. Its goal is to raise awareness about circularity, reuse, and to counter the phenomenon of waste.

Magnolias have bloomed early this year. There are several trees in full bloom in the lovely Parco Contessa Casalini in La Villa. You might like to go there soon, the flowers don’t last long.
It is a pity the flowers only last for a few weeks.
It is Carnevale time and there are several celebrations coming up.
The one above is in Sala Parrocchiale in La Villa.
More on this one later.
I have no more information about the events. Try contacting the ProLoco Bagni di Lucca.
