A charming little village nestled in the mountains. A must-see!

It is a small reservoir, or lake, located on the Campo Ceraso karst plateau, within the Monti Simbruini Regional Natural Park, in the upper Fioio Valley, between Monte Tarino and the Serra di San Michele. This area is characterized by a mountainous landscape with large beech forests, sinkholes, and swallow holes, typical of karst terrain. The area once marked the border between the Papal States and the Kingdom of Naples, and the ancient boundary stones can still be seen today. An unattended refuge is also located near the lake.

Descending through a beautiful beech forest from the SS Trinità parking lot, you reach the Cippi Papalini. Two centuries ago, they were the border between the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Papal States, now Abruzzo and Lazio. We are also at the intersection of the three provinces of Rome, L'Aquila, and Frosinone.

Beautiful place with free guided tour. Call before visiting. A must if you are on the Cammino dei Briganti or nearby. For those who walk, there is also a fountain with water.

From this stage a long, bumpy climb awaits you towards the Velino pass.

Arriving from a tough climb at about 1250 meters below Mount Velino, a long descent full of pebbles awaits you, be careful. At the end you will find this magnificent restored church from 1200

For those who want to do the walk in 2 stages, I recommend staying overnight in Rosciolo

Descending from a scree slope in single from the top of San Donato you arrive at the gates of Scanzano
