The meadows of Logarghena, located at 1000 meters above sea level on the south-eastern side of Mount Braiola, offer wide meadows that extend like a panoramic balcony over the Magra Valley: from this position, in fact, the view embraces the surrounding landscape, from the imposing Apuan Alps and the peaks of the Apennines, dominated by Mount Marmagna.
In the past, these meadows were intensively used for cattle grazing, an activity now reduced but still present, with flocks of Massese sheep from the typical dark mantle grazing in this area during the summer.
Currently, the Meadows of Logarghena are a prime destination for hiking, walking and picnics. In May, the meadows are colored by a carpet of flowering daffodils, while in late summer they are dotted with different varieties of mushrooms.
Several paths allow you to reach Monte Orsaro, Monte Marmagna and Lake Santo Parmense from here. During the route, you can cross the moors of blueberries and stop at shelters and bivouacs in the area, including the Mattei refuge, the bivouac Tifoni and the refuge Mariotti.
