Casalfiumanese

Located about 12 km from Imola, Casalfiumanese is the first town of the Santerno Valley, which goes up into the Apennines along Via Montanara, even reaching Tuscany.

Why visit it 

Casalfiumanese is situated on a hill, surrounded by the typical landscape of the Santerno Valley: apricot trees, vineyards and outstanding ancient calanchi, local geological ground formations similar to badlands.

When to go and what to see

The perfect time of the year to visit Casalfiumanese is spring: enjoy the blossoming trees and the nature waking up after winter time. In fall, the mild temperatures are a natural invitation to outdoor activities, such as hiking and mountain biking.

Villa Manusardi Park is a treasure in the town centre: high trees and spontaneous local vegetation create a lovely atmosphere of peace and calm.

A suggested itinerary for outdoor hiking is the Luca Ghini Trail: a panoramic path dedicated to one of the founders of modern botany.
