You start from Cartore and take two trails: the first, a bit challenging, is 2.5 hours long, and the second, easier, is about 4 hours long. I chose the 2.5-hour trail and recommend it for those in good shape! Once you reach your destination, you're surrounded by this wonderful view of Lake Duchessa and the surrounding mountains, including Monte Murolungo, whose majestic presence is hard to miss.

Very beautiful place with the lake that mirrors the surrounding mountains. The lake is inhabited by the Crested Newt.

The Duchess Lake, of karst origin, located at 1788m. above sea level, it is a natural basin of the central Apennines. The lake is not fed by its own springs or by a river and the water level is linked to meteorological factors (rain and snow).

Is it also possible with gravel? Can October be considered as a period to do it?

Pass at an altitude of 1,100 meters on the provincial road that leads from Celano to Forme. Here there is a fountain with very fresh water, a picnic table and a panoramic point towards the Fucino plain on one side and the Cafornia and Velino mountains on the other.
