Passage point for the Meta and other paths

A few kilometers from the town of Alvito, among the mountains bordering Abruzzo, there is the so-called Fossa Maiura (815 m), a karst depression that almost forms a natural amphitheater: it is a gigantic sinkhole about 100 meters deep and about 3 km in circumference, in the shape of an inverted truncated cone with a perimeter of more than a kilometer. This is where the waters that feed the Fibreno originate.

Mount La Meta 2242m Abruzzo Lazio and Molise National Park

(1967mt) The Monaci Pass is located on the border between Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, crossed since ancient times by pilgrims, traders and bandits. The monks used to place a stone when they reached the pass. Over the years, piles of a couple of meters high have formed, clearly visible in the center of the plateau, making it a characteristic sign of recognition. The name of the Monaci Pass comes from a legend: three monks died during a storm while trying to cross the pass. The story is plausible, given the difficulty in identifying it if you come from the west and there is fog, and considering that historically the mule track that passes it connected the territories of the important abbeys of S. Vincenzo al Volturno and Montecassino. This very particular territory is the kingdom of a historic herd of Apennine chamois, which performs acrobatics between leaps, cliffs and steep meadows, grazing on grass or resting comfortably on sheer walls.

In the small town of Opi, in Abruzzo, there are countless karst springs and one of these forms the Fondillo stream. It is one of the first tributaries of the Sangro stream, which gives its name to the valley of the same name.

Magical and fairy-tale place, where you can enjoy a relaxing walk in the shade of beech, willow and mountain peaks.

This mountain is part of the Marsicani Mountains, and is 2241 m high. Access to Monte Meta can be forbidden at certain times of the year for the protection of Abruzzo chamois and access to certain paths is only allowed alongside a qualified guide appointed by the park. It is advisable to contact the park or check the park website before departure.
