 The
inland versant
The Garfagnana inland versant shows characteristics different
from the sea-versant ones, the mountains slope softly
down from the main chain to the river Serchio delimiting
the Apuan region. The valleys of the Serchio right tributaries
host artificial lake basins used foe the production of
electric power. From the middle watershed ridges showing
the highest tops, M. Pisanino (1947 mt.), Pizzo d' Uccello
(1782 mt.), Roccandagia (1708 mt.), Sumbra (1765 mt.),
Pania Secca (1709 mt.) and Pizzo delle Saette (1720 mt.)
branch off. Marks of the glacial morphology are still
present in Orto di Donna - Val Serenaia, Campocatino,
Arnetola and Puntato; karstic forms characterized by dolines
and sink holes are present in the area of Carcaraia, Tambura
and Roccandagia. The vegetation cover very wide areas;
going from the hornbeam woods upwards you can see chestnuts,
beech woods and pastures up to the rocky vegetation of
the mountains tops. The arboreal vegetation stops only
at the edge of the villages where there are cultivated
fields, other rural areas are present at the height of
about one thousand meters near the mountain pastures. |
