Castello di Gropparello — Parco delle Fiabe
Emilia-Romagna
Gropparello's castle sits on a rocky spur over the Vezzeno stream, its surrounding woodland turned into Italy's first "fairy-tale park" with paths, footbridges and small clearings threading the gorge below. The wider grounds beyond the themed areas are open oak and hornbeam wood, quiet outside the paths.
