Dawn in Pania della Croce by illudiumqh36
If you come to Lucca in August you shouldn't miss this trip. A hike on the top of "Pania della Croce" peak to have a sight of the sun rising from the sea.You have to do a 2 hours hike through woods and green slopes until you reach the Rossi Refuge just under the peak. Than you can choose if climb the peak (1 hour) and sleep on the top under the big iron cross or sleep in the refuge and start the climb at night to arrive at the cross just before dawn.
You need to be a bit trained to do this hike but no need of special equipments, just a pair of trekking shoes.
Ask the tourist office in Lucca for a map and for the path to follow to reach the refuge.
