Camping
Il Sergente is situated in the green Mugello hills. The zone, famous
for its natural resources, gives green lovers the possibility of passing
a relaxing holiday in contact with the nature. It’s possible to
visit uncontaminated places, make excursions along the numerous Trekking
courses, and play any sports, because the valley is provided of some
sports facilities. The Mugello is a combination of two distinct geographical
areas, what is strictly speaking named as the Mugello, and the Alto
Mugello or Romagna Toscana. The Mugello valley, which refers to the
mid and upper part of the drainage basin of the River Sieve, is a broad
valley delimited to the north by the main Apennine watershed, to the
south by the spurs of Monte Giovi and Monte Senario, and closed off
to the west by the Monti della Calvana , beyond which lies the province
of Prato. In the valley are the villages and small towns of Borgo San
Lorenzo, Vaglia, San Piero, Barberino Mugello, Scarperia and Vicchio.
The countryside of the Mugello area is quite varied, and includes thick
woodland, chestnut coppices, olive groves, wheat and sunflower cultivation.
In the fertile valley floor are located the main inhabited areas and
lines of communication. To the north, in the upper part of the Santerno,
Senio, and Lamone basins, lies the Alto Mugello, with Firenzuola, Palazzuolo
sul Senio and Marradi. The large rock outcrops and peaks, though not
rising much above 1000 metres, produce striking, sometimes imposing
backdrops and profiles. The panorama is dominated by uncontaminated
beech, chestnut, and oak woods, by extensive pasture land occasionally
broken by juniper bushes and by rocky outcrops. The purity of the water
and the luxuriant vegetation in this valley are also an ideal habitat
for numerous species of birds and fish. The climate is somewhere in
the middle between the rather harsh one of the Po valley plain, where
the cold winds blow unchecked off the spurs of the Alps, and the milder
Mediterranean climate that is typical of central Italy. Camping Il Sergente
is situated in the heart of this territory. Come to spend your holiday
with relax and amusement!!
