Lago del Brugneto, Genova
Liguria
Lago del Brugneto (750 m) in the Val Trebbia above Genova is a reservoir with extraordinary wild character — surrounded by chestnut-oak forest with black woodpecker, otter confirmed on the inlet stream, and wolf territory. The Parco dell'Antola surrounds the lake. The circuit path takes 2.5 hours. The Trebbia valley below is one of Hemingway's favourite rivers in Italy. Dogs off-leash.
