    Tips

    December 18, 2022

    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.
