広域公園モンティ・ルクレティリの天然記念物・トップ15

Suggestive to say the least, very low grass and populated by cows and horses. An excellent refreshment point before the summit!

Monte Guardia 1184 metres

wonderful place, the trail is very easy

"On the east side of the Lucretili Mountains, immersed in oak and fir woods, the two Percile lakes, also called "Lagustelli", seem to rest. They are two small bodies of water of karst origin protected by an integral reserve within the Natural Park Regional dei Monti Lucretili. The largest lake, with a diameter of almost 120 meters, is called Fraturno while the smaller one, located a few meters away, is called Marraone" (source: Lazio Nascosto)

Mount Guardia, or La Guardia, is the least known peak of the Lucretili mountains, perhaps due to its more secluded position compared to the nearby Pellecchia and Gennaro. The routes to reach this peak are longer than those to other areas of the park, but the view from here is worth all the effort.

Pizzo Pellecchia, with its 1330 meters, is the second peak of the Lucretili mountains. Pizzo Pellecchia and the top of Monte Pellecchia are part of the same wide mountain ridge and for this reason they have the same name. The name Pellecchia, in fact, derives from "penniculus" (pen), to indicate a place located on a steep hill.

These splendid lakes are a testimony of the karst phenomenon on the Lucretili mountains. The largest, the Fraturno lake, exposed to the sun, the smallest enclosed in a deep sinkhole. Immersing yourself in the Fraturno waters is a unique experience if you overcome the initial skepticism of the muddy bottom!

Large grassy clearing of karst nature, one kilometer long and about 500 meters wide. For hundreds of years it has been the destination of the transhumance of local shepherds. Today you can admire horses and cows grazing in the wild.
