Apennine Mountains and Apuan Alps, Misty Barga at dawn from Il Benefizio
We decided to spend our time in the Apennine Mountains 2 kms away from the town of Barga in an olive farm surrounded of acacia and chestnut woods: Il Benefizio, managed by a local beekeper.
From the farm I got up early in the morning and I recorded this video with a great perspective of Barga and the Apennine mountains surrounded by mist. I had the feeling of being in the movie Lord of the Rings.
Barga is an old hilltop village around 12 kms south of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, is one of those slow Tuscan hilltop towns, with a good looking Duomo (Cathedral).
