Passage point for the Meta and other paths

(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.

The sense of wonder that this work gives thanks to its colors that, immersed in the woods, create a truly special sensation.

guide to the work: https://www.arteparco.com/opere/2023-2/ ARTEPARCO is a project born with the desire to bring contemporary art into the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, one of the most ancient naturalistic sites in Italy, a symbol of uncontaminated nature. Every year an artist is invited to confront the Old-Grown Forests, recognized in 2017 as a UNESCO heritage site. Arteparco is a union between Art and Nature, which combines artistic beauty with unique and uncontaminated places such as the Park, an open-air museum where nature alone is the protagonist. The initiative is born from the collaboration between the Park Authority, the Municipality of Pescasseroli and PARCO1923 – a perfume brand inspired by the plants and flowers of the Park – and is carried out with the support of BMW Italia, which has always shown particular attention to the issues of sustainability and environmental protection, and Sky Arte, the in-depth television channel dedicated to culture and art. Partners of the project for the first time also GORE-TEX, a leading company in the creation of technologies for outdoor clothing, committed to ensuring a positive economic and social impact while respecting the environment, and the Woolrich Out Door Foundation, which is committed to protecting and safeguarding outdoor spaces for communities around the world. For the commitment to the enhancement of the territory demonstrated over the years by ARTEPARCO, the initiative enjoys the Patronage of the Ministry of Ecological Transition.

Monte Marrone is a mountain in the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise. It is famous for having been the scene of a battle between the Alpini and the Germans during the Second World War. For this reason, on the top there is an iron cross with a bronze eagle and the motto of the Alpini Battalion "Tut per l'Italia" (Everything for Italy).

One of the most popular, easy and discounted walking routes in the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park.

Nice and easy walk
