Trail 1 - Lago Nero
Discovering the beauties of Lago Nero
An excursion of great impact that will allow you to reach one of the most characteristic places of the Pistoia Apennines. The first part of the route (up to Lago Nero) is perfectly suited to outings for the whole family. In winter, when the snow whitens the peaks of Abetone, this first stretch is used for wonderful snowshoeing.

POINT OF INTEREST
Abetone (1385 metri) in ancient times the whole area was called "boscolungo" due to the presence of a dense forest of fir and beech trees, such as the MAGGIOCIONDOLO, which in spring its blooms stain the mountain slopes yellow, it is a tree with an al height around 7 meters. Today the forest has an extension of about 2700 hectares.
From Monte Gomito with its highest peak, you can reach 1892.3 m
Lago Nero, a small lake of glacial origin placed in a "basin" due to the over-excavation of an ancient glacier. Two varieties of newts live in the lake, the alpine and the crested.
On the banks we find a variety of garlic and the poisonous red berries of the mezzanine very similar to currants, examples of mountain pine, spruce and raspberry. Near the lake there is a small shelter whose keys can be found at the CAI of Pistoia.
