Itinerario
Incontra la tua personale guida specializzata di fronte alla stazione ferroviaria in Piazza Marconi (Borgo a Mozzano), al mattino o nel pomeriggio. La prima tappa si trova a pochi passi di distanza, al piccolo ma suggestivo Museo della Memoria, che offre molti documenti della Seconda guerra mondiale relativi a Lucca e alla costruzione della linea gotica. Il museo ospita anche uniformi e armi delle forze alleate e dell'esercito tedesco, una serie di oggetti consegnati alle truppe, un esaustivo numero di bollettini rilasciati dal prefetto fascista riguardanti coprifuoco, restrizioni alla circolazione, restrizioni alla vendita sul mercato nero, foto e documenti dei combattenti nella resistenza. Nota: Se non hai un'auto, puoi raggiungere Borgo a Mozzano in treno.
Prosegui con una passeggiata di 10 minuti fino ai due bunker inferiori costruiti per difendere la parete anticarro della linea gotica a Borgo a Mozzano. Per difendere il fronte, i tedeschi costruirono due grandi e profondi bunker scavandoli nella roccia. I soldati li utilizzarono come postazioni d'osservazione, pronti a difendere la parete anticarro della Linea gotica con cannoni e mitragliatrici. Per visitare un terzo incredibile bunker, è necessario prendere l'auto e raggiungere il vicino borgo medievale di Anchiano. Il bunker si estende per molti metri nella collina sotto la chiesa del villaggio. Per difendere la riva sinistra del fiume e la Linea gotica, l'Organizzazione Todt costruì questa straordinaria fortificazione per cannoni, mitragliatrici e punti d'osservazione.
Risali in macchina e procedi verso il leggendario Ponte della Maddalena, meglio conosciuto come Ponte del Diavolo. È stato costruito nel Medioevo per permettere ai pellegrini in viaggio dal Nord Italia e dall'Europa di attraversare il fiume sulla via per Roma. Questo fu l'unico ponte sul Serchio non distrutto dai tedeschi durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, cosa che si dimostrò un enorme errore strategico da parte loro. Si tratta di un ponte a schiena d'asino con archi asimmetrici che può essere attraversato a piedi. In cima puoi goderti uno splendido panorama del fiume e delle colline circostanti.

Tour was great ❤️ Anna was awesome. Highly recommend her. She gave us some history which gave us insight as to how Italians survived the occupation.
Thank you very much for your good review, We are happy that you enjoyed the tour !
Very personable up close look at ww2 Italy. My friend and I drove to Borgo and met our guide a wealth of information and energy. We first went to a museum of remembrance that was moving and informative with an historical overview of the allies push into the Po valley through the mountains in central Italy. I could have stayed for hours but we got a great overview. Then we visited several gun emplacements where we had to go through smaller and tinier caves. In one, we had to wear helmets. Then we saw the “devils bridge “ an unusual and old structure supposedly built by the devil who demanded a soul in payment. The villagers sent a dog over to pay the devil. This was an important memorial to the many brave Italians who sacrificed during the war. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR. You will be informed and humbled.
A tour that lets you experience the history of the Second World War first-hand. Yes, we all know the photos. And we all know well what the Gothic line was and why. But entering history in this way, touching walls, iron, barbed wire, trenches... Believe me, it's a whole different story. Applause to the volunteers (our cicerone was a very kind volunteer (class 50 and blue eyes), profound knowledge of every detail), who led us by the hand almost on the set of the history of the country at war, giving us anecdotes, details and individual stories of no small importance. Kudos to all they work to keep HISTORY alive. We do not forget.
Paola was the best possible guide. Great experience. Interesting not only for WW2 History geeks but also for the general public.
If you love history or just want to do something that is truly off the beaten track consider this private tour. Anna made it so interesting. It was a private tour and we were able to move at our own pace. The German bunkers and the story of how Lucca was involved in WWII were eye-openers. The museum is small but packed with interesting artifacts. Devils Bridge is included in this tour.
Touring The Gothic Line with Anna was absolutely incredible. Learning the history of the line was fascinating especially hearing the impact on the Italian citizens. Walking through the bunkers while hearing the stories of why and how they were built puts a unique perspective on history. Highly recommend this tour for everyone.
Fascinating tour, led by Carlo. Carlo is very knowledgeable about WWII but was also able to explain the big strategies and local involvement in a way that was interesting and engaging. We spent quite a bit of time in the small museum, learning about the Gothic Line and some of the local individuals that participated in the war activities. Then we headed out to two nearby bunkers. He led us through the bunkers so that we could understand their purpose, construction, and impact.
you are very kind. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the tour so much. grazie mille Carlo
This was excellent. Anna was well informed without being stuffy. The bunkers are fascinating and only open for pre arranged tours. Great value at 160 euros total for 10 people (not each). Highly recommended.
we are really happy that you enjoyed the tour, thank you for your appreciation!
If you are anywhere near this location and are a World War II history buff, had family in the war, or just enjoy a general history and knowledge this is a must-see for you! Anna, our tour guide, had wonderful stories as well as lots of knowledge, History, plus family personal experiences that made the tour extra special - a real eye-opener for anyone that has not lived through this difficult time. The best story is the town coming out to the Piazza waiting for the Americans to arrive... HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
we are happy you enjoyed thank you
<p>This did not have any reviews, so I was a bit nervous booking this but my husband is a big history buff and really wanted to learn more about the Gothic Line and see the WWII German bunkers. Our tour guide, Carlo, was a great tour guide! The tour lasted about 2 / 2.5 hours. He shared a lot of informative information and also shared personal family stories. You need to rent a car in order to go to all three bunkers, but it was worth it. Very cool learning and seeing something that many people do not know much about. I would recommend this tour if you like history. The town is also pretty and you can see the gorgeous Devil's Bridge once the tour is over. Thank you Carlo for a wonderful experience!</p>
