バッレーア湖のおすすめランニングルート

Very nice tour with some elevation gain

The dark bust of the Mother of God holding the baby Jesus in her arms does not stand out much from the gray rock of the surrounding area, so one or two hikers will certainly have passed by without noticing it. This small sacred monument was obviously donated to thank the Madonna; an inscription next to the figure gives the date of September 2, 1940.

Inside the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, surrounded by mountains, there is Lake Barrea which overlooks the three villages: Villetta Barrea, Barrea and Civitella Alfedena.

Small artificial mountain lake with clear waters, created by the Rio Torto dam built for the production of electricity.

The name of this lake comes from its seasonal changes: in winter it is frozen and covered with snow, in spring it experiences its full period, followed by a progressive reduction in water, which disappears completely at the end of summer.
