Resplan
Möt din personliga specialiserade guide är framför tågstationen i Piazza Marconi (Borgo a Mozzano) på morgonen eller eftermiddagen. Det första stoppet ligger bara några steg bort på det lilla men uppseendeväckande museet Museo della Memoria, som innehåller många andra världskrigets dokument i relation till Lucca och byggandet av den gotiska linjen. Museet innehåller också uniformer och armar från både de allierade och tyska arméerna, en serie föremål utgivna till trupperna, ett uttömmande antal meddelanden som frisläppts av den fascistiska prefekten avseende utegångsförbud, cirkulationsrestriktioner, svarta marknadsförsäljningsrestriktioner, foton och dokument från de lokala motståndskämparna. Obs: Om du inte har en bil, kan du nå Borgo a Mozzano med tåg.
Därefter tar du en 10 minuters promenad till de två lågbunkarna som byggdes för att försvara antitankväggen på den gotiska linjen vid Borgo a Mozzano. För att försvara fronten konstruerade tyskarna två stora, djupa bunkrar som grävde dem i berget. Soldaterna använde dem som observatörstolpar, redo att försvara den gotiska linjens antitankvägg med kanoner och maskingevär. För att besöka en tredje otroligt bunker, måste du ta din bil och köra till den närliggande medeltida byn Anchiano. Bunkeren sträcker sig för många meter in i backen under byns kyrka. För att försvara vänstra sidan av floden och den gotiska linjen hade Todt-organisationen denna extraordinära befästning konstruerad för kanoner, maskingevär och observationsposter.
Hoppa in i din bil igen och fortsätt till den legendariska Ponte della Maddalena (bro av Maria Magdalena), mer känd som "Devil's Bridge". Det byggdes under medeltiden, så pilgrimer som reser från norra Italien och Europa kunde korsa floden på väg till Rom. Detta var den enda bron över Serchio-floden som tyskarna inte förstörde under andra världskriget, och visade sig vara ett stort strategiskt fel på deras sida. Det är en puckelbro med asymmetriska bågar och kan korsas till fots. På sin högsta punkt finns det ett fantastiskt panorama över floden och omgivande kullar.

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>
