Take a small settlement, stone houses, a tiny square, narrow alleys, and the history of a valley waiting to be told.
Borgo Rivola is a village in Riolo Terme, at the foot of Monte Tondo, rising near the Senio river.
The village sits at the heart of two natural landscapes typical of this area: gypsum veins and clay ravines (calanchi), which merge to create a rugged, intense landscape with a powerful emotional impact.
A hostel for hikers has been established in the former roadman's house, alongside the Visitor Center for Karst and Speleology, where you can discover the history of the territory and take part in numerous activities.
Borgo Rivola is a crossroads for the Alta Via dei Parchi, the Via del Gesso e dei Calanchi, St. Anthony's Way, and the Fern Path (Sentiero delle Felci), which leads in just a few steps to the King Tiberius Cave, one of the most evocative spots of the UNESCO serial site "Evaporitic Karst and Caves of Northern Apennines."
