The blue color of the small lake is best appreciated in winter or summer in the early hours of the day when there is no mist. One of the things that makes Lago Piccolo di Monticchio so special is its volcanic origin. The lake is located within an ancient volcanic crater, giving the landscape a unique and fascinating character. Walking along its banks is like taking a journey back in time, admiring the traces of this region's geological past.

A few steps from the "monkey priest" crossroads this is one of the most beautiful paths to follow at the foot of Mount Vulture on the Monticchio lakes side.

The colors of the small lake of Monticchio really leave you breathless. A corner of paradise in which to take refuge on hot days.

Beautiful path that leads to the abbey of S. Michele, all shaded and quite comfortable (you still need trekking shoes, especially in the last stretch).

Truly a unique place with a breathtaking show. Easy to access, avoid crowded periods such as long weekends or mid-August, better any Sunday to enjoy the relaxation of nature.

Returned to light just over a decade ago, it is an archeology beauty to be admired absolutely.
