Parco regionale dell'Alto Appennino Modenese

The protected area extends across 15,000 hectares of land, including glacial lakes, ancient chestnut groves, mountain meadows, and dense coniferous forests.

The Regional Park of Alto Appennino Modenese received its official designation on April 2, 1988, through Regional Law 11 and began operations in 1991.

Seven municipalities within the park territory maintain traditional practices while managing the natural resources through sustainable approaches and local conservation efforts.

The park network contains marked trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, with additional facilities for winter sports across 50 kilometers of slopes.

Lake Pratignano contains the region's largest high-altitude peat bog, providing habitat for the carnivorous round-leaved sundew plant.
