가르가노 국립공원‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

On Monte Calvo, it's best to ascend from the east by mountain bike, despite the numerous unnecessary stone steps that clutter the initial section. The trail, which descends west from the summit to connect with the Sentiero delle Anguille, would be less rideable and much more difficult overall.

The Laghetto d'Umbra is a rainwater-fed lake. The turtles living here were released, but they seem to thrive here.

Impressive pebble beach bay beneath high cliffs. No access from the north or south, as the beach ends in both directions at cliffs that reach into the water. Above the cliffs are large hotel complexes (resorts), which are completely fenced in! An elevator leads from the complexes on the cliffs down to the beach. Otherwise, it's extremely difficult to get to the beach or the bay! We didn't understand Vera and Sammy's two tips! We nevertheless reached the bay in February, taking complicated and arduous routes (path to the resort, always following the fences back in a curve to the northwest, descending to the closed path to the bay in the opposite direction to the southeast) and then following paths back up to the road north of the bay. We have documented this complicated route in a separate section: "Access to Zagare Bay." Good luck with "copying" or "finding your own way"!

Fantastic view of Vieste and the rock. The beach is not really for me. More information about the rock: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzomunno?wprov=sfla1

A beautiful walk in the Umbra forest in the Gargano region that starts from Laghetto d'Umbra near Caserma dei Carabienieri Forestali and follows the path to Caserma Murgia. From here you can deviate a bit to visit the ruins and then return along the path to Lago d'Otri, a small lake in the Gargano forest.

auto_awesome Source language: Italian 887 / 5,000 The Pizzomunno rocky outcrop, which rises about 25 meters above the Castello beach, has the shape of an ellipse (20 x 12 meters) and is located at a distance of at least about 25 meters from the rocky wall of the San Francesco promontory, from which it cannot be overcome due to erosion phenomena. Marina, with the procedure of applying the original Tettonia fracture. Subsequently, the lighthouse is raised and proceeds with the lowering of a further modeling according to the chemical measures of the sea spray. The Pizzomunno and the lower part of the rocky wall are made up of white limestone of the “scaglia” type, dating to the Late Cretaceous period (145.5 years and 0.3 million years ago). It is a soil formation with slightly diametrically opposed white limestones, gradually stratified with a selection of red spots. The layers of the stone slab, with a thickness of 5 to 10 cm, have a northeast-southeast direction and an inclination of 13° to the northeast.

The famous and evocative white monolith that rises 25 meters from the sea, very close to the beach of Vieste.

Pizzomunno is an immense monolith, 25 meters high of limestone. The legend of Pizzomunno goes like this: Pizzomunno is a young man who lived in Vieste when it was still a small village. He meets a girl named Cristalda and the two young people fall in love. Once on a boat fishing, Pizzomunno is surrounded by mermaids and they ask him to become their king. In love with Cristalda, Pizzomunno refuses their request. One evening on the beach, the two lovers are walking. The mermaids see them and, enraged with jealousy, attack Cristalda and drag her to the bottom of the sea. Pizzomunno searches for her following the voice. The next day the fishermen find Pizzomunno's body petrified on the white cliff with pain. Pizzomunno has become the symbol of Vieste.
