Beech woods

The Apennine ridge is about 6000 ft high above Bagnone. We cheated and drove to the nearest pass across the range and took a walk from there. What surprised me was that the woods below the tree-line were beech woods. We made a walk through the woods to a glacial lake. It was a lovely walk; cool in the woods with beautiful views opening up both across the valley and up to the ridge.
