Beautiful view, especially after struggling to reach the place :D

The "Villa" is one of the places that represent the city of Foggia. The entrance is characterized by a series of white columns. Inside there are several green areas, statues, benches and a playground for children.

More than a refuge, it is a bivouac. It deserves to be visited for the satisfaction of reaching the highest peak in Puglia. Always a very windy spot, even in good weather.

With its 1151 m above sea level, it is the highest mountain in Puglia. At the top is a shelter completely restored in 2020. The summit is easily accessible.

The arrival in Foggia is something exciting, you realize you have made a small dream come true.

Monte Cornacchia, with its 1151 meters, is the highest mountain in Puglia. From its summit, on which a small forest refuge has been built, you can enjoy a suggestive and spectacular 360° panorama towards Irpinia, the Gargano, the Maiella and the Tavoliere. The summit of the mountain represents the ideal destination for excursions and trekking in search of uncontaminated landscapes and tranquillity. The vegetation of the mountain is characterized by the presence of vast meadows and high altitude pastures, alternating with coniferous and deciduous woods. The most important faunal presence is that of the wolf, index of the high naturalistic value of the whole area. Alongside the wolf, the presence of numerous species of birds of prey should also be noted. Monte Cornacchia can be reached via the beautiful and comfortable Sentiero Frassati di Puglia which connects Biccari, Castelluccio Valmaggiore, Celle di San Vito, Faeto and Roseto Valfortore.

North-east of Monte Cornacchia, on the slopes of Toppo Pescara, at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, there is a small natural lake basin called Lago Pescara. The lake extends for about three hectares with a depth which, in the center of the lake, reaches even four meters. Without natural outlets, its waters are fed by sub-lacustrine springs and streams formed after the rainfall and after the snow melted. From the top of its position it dominates the surrounding plain, with its slow decline towards the sea, interrupted on the horizon by the fortified hill of Lucera, in the center of the tableland, and by the promontory of the Gargano which is also easy to see on the clearest days. The term "Pescara" of the lake is improper and derives, perhaps, from a transcription error on toponymic maps, as the locals gave it the name of "Peschiera", attributing to the lake a certain image of goodness for fishing. The climate of the area has a mild summer and a rather harsh winter with abundant snowfalls.
