planning your route

Tereglio seen from Montefegatesi. The valley beyond is the Suricchiana, and beyond the green hill is the Serchio valley between us and the Apuane alps.

TEREGLIO - frazione di Coreglia Antelminelli - latitudine: 44° 3' 21” - longitudine: 10° 33' 48”

by air

Most visitors arrive by RyanAir or other airlines to Pisa Airport. Some flights come in to Florence Airport. From the airports your journey can be thought of in three steps:

• to Lucca
• to Bagni di Lucca (Fornoli)
• to Tereglio.

The first two stages can be done by train or by bus, but the third really requires a car, so most people hire a car from the airport.

See below for navigation hints from Lucca.

by train

If you are coming from elsewhere in Italy, or in Europe, by train, you need to arrive first at Lucca, and then take a local train up the Serchio valley towards Aula. The two stations nearest to Tereglio are Bagni di Lucca and Calavorno. See the Italian train timetable at trenitalia.it.

by bus

The route for bus transport is the same: come to Lucca and from there take a bus up the Serchio valley. The local bus service to Tereglio itself is very limited, particularly in school holidays, so discuss with us if you are thinking of travelling this way.

by car

From wherever you are coming, first take the motorway to Lucca.

In Lucca, follow signs towards Abetone in order to leave in the right direction.

Once out of Lucca, you travel up the Serchio valley. There are roads on both sides of the river, but you are likely to find yourself on the more main road, with the river on your right.

Ponte della Maddalena seen from the air

• If the river lies on your right, pass Diecimo and when you arrive at Borgo a Mozzano, turn right to cross the river, turning left on the other side to continue going in the same direction (roughly north). You will then soon arrive at Ponte della Maddalena.
• If the river stays on your left after you leave Lucca, that is okay too. You will pass through a series of villages, and you can follow the signs towards Abetone until you get to Ponte della Maddalena.
• It is also possible that you will leave Lucca with the river on your left, but inadvertently find yourself crossing the river on the lovely new bridge so that the river is now on your right. Don't panic. You quickly arrive at Borgo a Mozzano and can cross back over the river and continue on the other side until you reach Ponte della Maddelena.

The road sign may say Ponte della Maddalena but it is more commonly called Ponte del Diavolo. It is a spectacular mediaeval bridge which you will see on your left. Carry on until you reach Chiffenti, where you turn left towards Aula and Barga. Now you pass the entrance to Fornoli on your right and shortly arrive at the roundabout where you will take the road to Tereglio to your right.
