The northeast of Elba Island<\/strong> consists of a massif that extends into the waters, where Rio nell\u2019Elba is located in the heights, Rio Marina on the eastern coast, while Magazzini, Bagnaia, Nisporto, and Nisportino are on the western side. Crossing Monte Capannello, a ridge runs through this area, combining varied landscapes: rugged coasts, sandy and pebble beaches, hills, and valleys.
The local history is marked by iron mining since the Etruscan era, with famous deposits in Rio Marina that shaped the economy and architecture. The villages also preserve heritage from that period.
The Volterraio Castle<\/strong> and Monte Capannello<\/strong> offer views of the sea and the island\u2019s interior.
Hiking trails allow exploration of mountains, forests, and natural viewpoints. The region also retains archaeological remains, including mining sites.
The numerous beaches are suitable for swimming and diving. Some are accessible only by sea or with great difficulty by land, such as Zupignano and other coves along the coast.
Around Cavo<\/strong> there are additional beaches and, on the heights, interesting sites such as the Red Lake, the ancient temple, or the Copped\u00e8 Mausoleum.<\/p>\n\n\n
