Day 1:

• Arrival in the Reggio Emilia Apennines, check-in, and accommodation at the hotel.
• Free time for an excursion to the Pietra di Bismantova, an impressive rock formation located near Castelnovo ne’ Monti. About 300 meters high, it is known for its characteristic “plank” shape and for having been a source of inspiration for artists and poets, including Dante Alighieri.
• Return to the hotel; half board treatment and overnight stay in the Apennines-Reggio Emilia area.
  

Possibility to rent e-bikes to reach the foot of Pietra di Bismantova (supplement on request).

Day 2:

• Breakfast in hotel/farmhouse and self-guided transfer to Reggio Emilia
• Visit to the Dairy of the Red Cow Consortium with final tasting of 3 seasonings of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO. Parmigiano-Reggiano, one of the oldest cheeses known, is produced today as it was eight centuries ago with the same ingredients, the same technique, the same artisanal care. It is the “cheesemaker” who with his hands, sensitivity and experience creates the form (“wheel”).
• Free lunch in the surroundings (We invite you to visit the historic centre of Reggio Emilia)
• Afternoon at the Farm at a Red Cow farm with a unique experience: visit to the barn, meeting with the breeders and the opportunity to give milk to the calves in assistance to the local staff.
• Return to the hotel, half board treatment and overnight stay in the Apennines of Reggio Emilia (in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park)

Day 3:

• Breakfast at the hotel/farmhouse and transfer to Cervarezza on your own
• Morning at the Cerwood Adventure Park, the first adventure park born in Emilia-Romagna and today the largest in Italy, with the possibility of carrying out adventure trails in the trees (both for adults and children)
• Free lunch (possibility to stop at the Bar Restaurant Locanda in Cerwood)
• Free afternoon in Search of the Big Bench with the BBCP Passport! (included in the package). 
• Return to the hotel; half board service and overnight stay in the Apennines-Reggio Emilia area

The BIG BENCH COMMUNITY PROJECT (BBCP) Foundation promotes the installation of the out-of-scale object and at the same time contributes to supporting local communities, tourism and artisan excellence in the countries in which they are located.

Your visit to the Big Benches becomes even more fun with the BBCP Passport! (included in the package). Each stamp bears the logo of the Great Benches and the name of the country in which they are located. Collecting stamps in your passport proves your visit to a certain Great Bench by becoming a perfect souvenir.

Day 4:

• Breakfast at the hotel/farmhouse and check-out
• Free morning: we recommend you visit the Bianello Oasis: a splendid example of the environment of the lower Emilian Apennines, with altitudes around 300 meters: woods, small meadows, scrub and crops. In the mixed deciduous forest, oaks mix with hornbeams, manna ashes and maples, on a rich shrubby undergrowth of dogwood, privet and hazelnut.
• Lunch at the Farmhouse with a set menu (water, coffee and a glass of wine included)
• After lunch, free time and opportunity to visit the donkeys in the stables of the Farmhouse and visit the local shop.
