Hiking below the Apuan Alps
Routes from Cardoso and the mountain villages climb towards ridges and open views. Check elevation, terrain and weather before setting off.
CAI Forte dei Marmi routes ↗Malbacco waterfalls and natural pools
Above Seravezza, along the Serra stream and the road climbing from Malbacco towards Azzano, five marked descents lead to waterfalls and natural pools. The fourth reaches Pozzo della Madonna; the fifth is for experienced hikers. Wear suitable footwear: rocks and paths can be slippery. Stay out of the riverbed during rain or storms, do not dive, and respect signs, nature and any summer traffic restrictions.
