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.

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.

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

Amatrice, a charming municipality in the hills of the Lazio Apennines, is a place steeped in history and resilience. Unfortunately, Amatrice was hit by earthquakes that left indelible scars, but the community showed extraordinary strength in getting back on its feet. In addition to its history, Amatrice is famous for its delicious cuisine, inviting visitors to enjoy the authentic flavors of the region. Amid the natural beauty and courage of its people, Amatrice exudes an authentic and touching charm.

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.

Beautiful road, characterized by almost absolute tranquility and a spectacular panorama that extends to the Sibillini Mountains. The slope is pleasantly gentle, avoiding excessive slopes. I recommend enjoying it to the full, but it is advisable to avoid public holidays when it could be filled with motorcycles.

Prato Selva is now a ghost place. For some years the plants and structures have been abandoned. It is worth pedaling up here to enjoy the spectacular panorama of the Adriatic Sea and the nearby Sibillini mountains.

Prato Selva was an important ski destination in Abruzzo. Today it is a ghost center, inhabited only by hares and other wild animals (it is not uncommon to see traces of wolves) - It is perfect for seeing shooting stars in the summer as it has no lighting. From here starts the path to the Monte refuge and other excursions towards Monte Corvo, one of the less frequented and well-known peaks of the Gran Sasso massif.
