멜피 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

A nice discovery, a hidden place a few steps from the beech fountain.

One of the most suggestive points of the slope. The boulder on the edge of the path (called split stone) is really impressive.

A wonderful panoramic point on the lakes of Monticchio, truly fascinating to be able to admire them from above.

Wonder of nature! Main destination for every hiker and/or mtb lover. Easy to reach, but you need to have the right equipment and the right training (on MTB). If desired, it can be reached by car going up from Rionero in Vulture and then stopping just before the Monte Vulture refuge and continuing on foot for about 2 km.
