Subjects : The park offers excellent possibilities for nature photography: it consists mainly of a large and dense beech forest that extends on the slopes of Mount Moria, crossed by a good network of paths. It is not a monospecific forest, so you can also see chestnut, birch, ash, manna ash, aspen, aspen trees, white poplars... Perfect setting to photograph autumn foliage! Also noteworthy and characteristic are the chestnut specimens that over the centuries have undergone the so-called "twisting" of the stem: they give a surreal atmosphere to the forest that surrounds them.

Recommended equipment : Macro lens for mushrooms and undergrowth details, wide-angle lens for wider shots, telephoto lens for distant details and landscape... Anything goes! It is also recommended to use the drone, as the aerial shots of both the forest and the surrounding landscape are very spectacular, especially during the autumn foliage, but also in winter.

Best months : Perhaps the best time is between November and April, which is also the least touristy period. In November you can observe the foliage, aerial shots are perhaps the best way to appreciate it to the fullest. In winter it is an almost obligatory destination for those who are nearby and love the snow! In summer it is much more popular until October, during the chestnut harvest period.

How to get there : Coming from Piacenza, proceed to Carpaneto and then to Castell'Arquato. At the traffic lights of Castell'Arquato, turn left and follow the signs for Lugagnano Val'Arda. After crossing the village, follow the signs for the Park (also known as the Provincial Park). Coming from Fiorenzuooa d'Arda, keep to Castell'Arquato and from there follow the directions as described above. However, the entrances to the park are different and well illustrated on the official website, so you can also enter from the South (Morfasso, San Michele). The rest areas are well distributed along the road that crosses the park.

Visits : Admission is free and there are no schedules. However, it is mandatory to observe some rules of respect for nature (including no camping, posting of signs, damage to trees, noise...).
