things to do
Of course some people come to the Garfagnana just to enjoy the isolation and change of pace. And with “La Crepa” so near it is not always easy to persuade people to get into the car and down to Barga or Bagni di Lucca to socialize with friends at the bar, have a meal, or just do the shopping. But more active visitors have plenty to do.
