About this tour
Explore Borgo a Mozzano's World War 2 fortifications on this private 3-hour guided walk through the Gothic Line defensive system. Your local guide leads you through two bunkers on foot, then drives you to a third before crossing the medieval Devil's Bridge, where panoramic views span the river valley and Tuscan hills. Photography stops punctuate the route, and groups stay small at 20 people maximum.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Borgo a Mozzano and begin on foot, examining concrete bunkers built into hillsides during the 1944-45 German defensive campaign. The first two bunkers involve climbing in and around fortified structures; your guide explains their tactical purpose and wartime history. You'll then transfer to a vehicle for the third position, a more substantial installation. The walk concludes on Devil's Bridge, a 14th-century stone span offering sweeping views across the Serchio River valley. Expect moderate exertion with uneven terrain and stairs.
Good to know
Bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. Museum and bunker entry fees (€10–15 per adult) are separate. You must arrange your own transport to the meeting point; trains run from Lucca, Pisa, and Florence to Borgo a Mozzano. Moderate fitness required. Maximum 20 per group ensures intimate access.
