カッパドキアの峠・トップ8

Challenging but worth the effort

Passo delle Pecore is the meeting point of several paths. There are beautiful glades here.

The Vali di Monte Salviano is located at 902 m above sea level within the homonymous nature reserve. In 2000 the work entitled "Teatro della Germinazione" was installed, a sculpture by the artist Pietro Cascella.

Monna della Forcina is one of the key points in the Mtb outings in Simbruini: here you can start the hard climb of Mount Tarino (not recommended by bike from this side), go up towards Campo Staffi, go down towards Campo Ceraso and Campo della Pietra or go down towards Fiumata or Fillet. If you need water, go to Fiumata, Campo Ceraso or Campo Staffi.

There are 4 possible directions to Passo delle Pecore if you are equipped with an e-MTB.

From here you can go up, on the left, to the summit of Mount Tarino (from which the Aniene is born): it still takes an hour and more than 300 meters. in altitude, but, if you go up, you can see Filettino, Campo Staffi and even the Fucino plain to the east

With a generally downhill profile, this trail is one of the most recommended in the area for Mtb or e-Mtb. Ups and downs, guided sections and fast sections alternate while the scenery of the beech forest flows around. It ends on a large grassy clearing and, continuing it as indicated in the track, you arrive on the slope of Female Dead. Highly recommended

you can reach this pass from Carsoli or from Tagliacozzo this 2nd option is my favourite because there's a very panoramic route with wonderful views on Abruzzo Mountains
