Lake Santo Modenese – Nature, silence and beauty on the Emilian Apennines. At over 1,500 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Frignano Park, Lake Santo Modenese is the highest natural body of water in Emilia-Romagna. Surrounded by beech forests and rocky ridges, it is an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility, alpine landscapes and paths surrounded by greenery. 🏞️ A landscape that enchants: Of glacial origin, the lake is nestled between the peaks of Monte Giovo and Monte Rondinaio. The beauty of the place changes with the seasons: from the bright green of summer to the golden reflections of autumn, up to the snowy quiet of winter. 👉 Tip: Set off in the morning for a hike to the Monte Giovo - the view of the lake from the top is breathtaking. 🥾 Trekking and trails for everyone: Lago Santo is the starting point for numerous hiking trails, suitable for both experienced walkers and families. Among the most popular are the ring of the lakes and the stretches of the Sentiero Italia CAI that cross the Apennine ridge. 👉 Tip: Put on hiking boots and bring a snack: many viewpoints invite you to stop and contemplate. 🧺 Nature, refuges and mountain taste: Near the lake there are refuges and accommodation facilities that offer typical dishes of the Modena mountains: crescentine, polenta, mushrooms and alpine cheeses. All in a rustic and authentic atmosphere. 👉 Tip: Stop at the hut to enjoy a hot dish after the hike: the taste tastes different at high altitudes. 🧘 Silence and well-being in the open air: The Holy Lake is also a place to slow down. Stroll along the shore, breathe in the fresh air, listen to the wind in the trees. Here nature manifests itself with simplicity and regenerates body and mind. 👉 Tip: Bring a book or notebook with you - the silence of the lake is the perfect inspiration for reading, writing or meditating. Lake Santo Modenese is a small corner of the mountains where nature speaks softly. A place to stop, listen and rediscover the pleasure of simple things.
