Valley

No snow bending the trees, the real cause is this: “…the responsibility for this phenomenon can be traced back to “Soil Creeping” also called “Reptazione”. It is an imperceptible movement of the ground that influences the direction of the trunks at a very slow and constant speed (it is a matter of fractions of millimeters per year). This phenomenon, too slow to be observed directly, mainly affects the more humid soils and slopes with slight inclinations and its effects can be seen only after years and years from its beginning precisely thanks to the curved tree trunks.” Cit.

Monte Girella is the top of the Montagna dei fiori. You can climb to the top via an easy path starting from the Monte Piselli ski lifts in the San Giacomo area. From the top, on clear days you can see the Adriatic coast up to Conero, the Gran Sasso and Sibillini mountains. It is beautiful to observe the nearby Montagna di Campli.

The forest is on the right after passing Lago dell’Orso. The characteristic shape of the beech trees is given by the weight of the snow that bends their branches.

Waterfall within the Gran Sasso Monti della Laga area. Spectacular and reachable with a nice walk from Bosco Martese.

In spring and summer the waterfall is full of water. The route immersed in the Martese forest, among beech and fir trees, is very pleasant. The waterfall in the summer period is worth a bath in costume.

One of my favorite climbs/descents. Unfortunately the road is what it is but if you know it you can get along

The climb is quite simple in terms of slopes, even if the road surface is often in poor condition. Enchanting views stand out in the background.
