グレシ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ15

Monteleone di Puglia, the highest municipality in the region at 842 meters above sea level, offers one of the most picturesque viewpoints in the Daunia region. The village is intimate and welcoming, with cobbled alleys, small squares, and views overlooking cultivated hills and winding ridges. Strolling through the center, you'll find fountains, arches, and panoramic views that invite you to pause for a moment.

Beautiful view, especially after struggling to reach the place :D

More than a refuge, it is a bivouac. It deserves to be visited for the satisfaction of reaching the highest peak in Puglia. Always a very windy spot, even in good weather.

the highest town in Puglia is not far from the province of Avellino and Campania

With its 1151 m above sea level, it is the highest mountain in Puglia. At the top is a shelter completely restored in 2020. The summit is easily accessible.

Monte Cornacchia, with its 1151 meters, is the highest mountain in Puglia. From its summit, on which a small forest refuge has been built, you can enjoy a suggestive and spectacular 360° panorama towards Irpinia, the Gargano, the Maiella and the Tavoliere. The summit of the mountain represents the ideal destination for excursions and trekking in search of uncontaminated landscapes and tranquillity. The vegetation of the mountain is characterized by the presence of vast meadows and high altitude pastures, alternating with coniferous and deciduous woods. The most important faunal presence is that of the wolf, index of the high naturalistic value of the whole area. Alongside the wolf, the presence of numerous species of birds of prey should also be noted. Monte Cornacchia can be reached via the beautiful and comfortable Sentiero Frassati di Puglia which connects Biccari, Castelluccio Valmaggiore, Celle di San Vito, Faeto and Roseto Valfortore.

North-east of Monte Cornacchia, on the slopes of Toppo Pescara, at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, there is a small natural lake basin called Lago Pescara. The lake extends for about three hectares with a depth which, in the center of the lake, reaches even four meters. Without natural outlets, its waters are fed by sub-lacustrine springs and streams formed after the rainfall and after the snow melted. From the top of its position it dominates the surrounding plain, with its slow decline towards the sea, interrupted on the horizon by the fortified hill of Lucera, in the center of the tableland, and by the promontory of the Gargano which is also easy to see on the clearest days. The term "Pescara" of the lake is improper and derives, perhaps, from a transcription error on toponymic maps, as the locals gave it the name of "Peschiera", attributing to the lake a certain image of goodness for fishing. The climate of the area has a mild summer and a rather harsh winter with abundant snowfalls.
