Some roads tempt you to change your plans. In the Appennino Reggiano, the journey unfolds one detour at a time, as the plains fall behind and the mountains take over the horizon.
In this part of Emilia Romagna, you can walk through the ruins of a medieval fortress and, a few days later, find yourself following trails along a mountain ridge. In between lie tower houses, rural churches, lakes surrounded by beech trees, chestnut groves and trattorias where the landscape finds its way onto your plate: in the herbs filling a tortello, the mushrooms gathered in the woods and the milk transformed into Parmigiano Reggiano.
