Zocca is located in the Modenese Apennines, enjoying a prime spot amidst ancient woods, historic villages, and breathtaking views over tranquil valleys. The landscape, enveloped in lush and unspoiled nature, is crisscrossed by trails that beckon for walks, trekking, and horseback or mountain biking adventures, revealing glimpses of exceptional beauty throughout the year.
Just a short distance from the B&B Il Castellaro lies the Sanctuary of Verucchia, a site of spirituality connected to a captivating Marian legend. Nearby, the 13th-century Torre di Rosola stands as a testament to the area's long feudal history, alongside the ruins of the castles of Dragodena and Montetortore, all set within an untouched natural backdrop. The nearby Monte Questiolo, with the remnants of an ancient fortress, and the medieval village of Montecorone narrate a rich past filled with noble events and rural life.
The region is dotted with enchanting sites, such as the ancient Chestnut tree of Montombraro, a symbol of longevity and the resilience of nature, and the Labante Cave, one of the largest primary travertine caves, famous for its dramatic waterfalls. For those interested in botany and ethnography, the Chestnut Museum and the Birch Forest in the San Giacomo area provide a glimpse into local rural culture.
In between visits, there are plenty of opportunities to savor the local flavors at dairies, traditional restaurants, and small markets, where the aromas of the mountains and Emilian cuisine come together. Additionally, Zocca is the hometown of Vasco Rossi, Italy's most beloved rock star; for many fans, a visit to his childhood home is a must, symbolizing a strong and genuine connection to the area.
Zocca is a place where history, nature, and tradition blend seamlessly, offering visitors an intimate and authentic experience, far removed from mass tourism.
