Bocognano
Bocognano (French pronunciation: [bɔkɔɲano]; Corsican: Bucugnà, [bu.ku.ɲa]) is a commune located in the department of Corse-du-Sud, on the island of Corsica, France. The village, situated at the south-western side of the climb to the Col de Vizzavona, belongs to the micro of Celavo which is historically the capital.
Halfway between Ajaccio and Corte, the village of Bocognano is renowned for its privileged position at the foot of Monte d'Oro, its chestnut woods and waterfall Le Voile de la Mariée. Bocognano, along with 9 other communes, belongs to the canton of Celavo-Mezzana. It is in to the Regional Natural Park of Corsica, in the Gravona territory. Its natural heritage, the purity of its water sources, the quality of its welcome and climate make it a popular summer destination near Ajaccio.
Bocognano is a mountain village located in the granite part of the island. It occupies an area surrounded by chains of high mountains of the Monte d'Oro massif in the north, and the Monte Renoso Massif to the south, through which flows the Gravona river. It is the upper valley of the Gravona, the river taking its source on the slopes of Monte Renoso at 2,110 metres (6,920 ft) altitude.
The hydrographic network is dense. The river Gravona is fed by many streams which are only appointed on maps. Many springs rise in its territory and form natural fountains.
The territory has a tiered vegetation. Below the rocky peaks, clouds, appear odorant alders (bassu in Corsican), and beech woodlands can be found at the top of the valley. Lower altitudes are covered by forests, mainly composed of oaks and pines, and the chestnut wood located in an area between 600 and 800 meters. Chestnut trees planted along the road north of the village attracts many collectors and gatherers at the time of hatching bugs.
Three communal forests cover a large part of the city:
Bocognano is distant 38 km from the Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte airport, and 42 km from the commercial port of Ajaccio.
Bocognano is accessible by car ( RN 193 ) from Ajaccio (36 km), and Corte (41 km). To come from Corte, one must cross the pass of Vizzavona (altitude 1163 m). In winter, it is prudent to bring chains. The D27 is a road which connects the RN 193 from Bocognano to the RN 196 in Cauro. This small road provides access to the nearby village of Bastelica after a winding 22 km route crossing the neck of the Scalella (1193 m). It is sometimes closed in winter.
