Lago Di Vagli
Peaceful lake with great views of the Apuane Alps.
TIP: take a walk to the historical Vagli Sotto and along the lake.
If you're visiting Vagli and its lake, you should definitely consider Campocatino (15min drive), is one of the most peaceful places I've ever been to.
TIP: there's a hidden hermitage walking distance, Eremo di San Viviano. Ask the locals on how to get there or download the app MAPS.ME

Drive to Piglionico (15min) and park there. Follow the signs to "Pania della Croce" and "Rifugio Rossi".
Beautiful walk. You can either stop at the "rifugio" for lunch/glass of wine (only on weekends in winter time, otherwise always open during summer) or reach the top with amazing 360' views.
TIP: dogs are fine only up to the "rifugio", after that I wouldn't recommend.
