Lake Paduli is an artificial lake located in the municipality of Comano, about 1 km from the Lagastrello Pass, on the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. Created by a dam on the Enza stream, the lake offers the chance to spend a day immersed in unspoiled nature, surrounded by beech woods.
Near the lake’s shores, where picnic areas are also available, you may spot groups of Ventasso horses grazing freely.
From the lake, you can set off on beautiful hikes in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, such as to Lake Squincio, Rifugio Città di Sarzana, or along the Apennine ridge. To reach Lake Paduli by car, drive through Licciana Nardi or Comano, following signs for Passo del Lagastrello. Just before reaching the pass, you’ll see the lake on your right.
