The Forca di Penne area is a road pass located at an altitude of approximately 900 metres. Here there is a farm, a few scattered houses and the ruins of an ancient tower to remind us of the strategic importance of the pass. On good days, looking east you can see the Adriatic Sea, while to the west the view opens onto the Sirente-Velino massif. Various dirt paths start from here which lead to the peaks of Monte Picca, Monte Rotondo and Monte Alto. In the southernmost part of the Gran Sasso massif.

Nice view - especially if you go a few meters (500) further south.
