멜피 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Natural spring, not far from the crossroads of paths in the Prete della Scimmia area

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.

Less than a kilometer from Monticchio, a few meters from one of the disused pylons of the cable car, you can find this refreshment point where, in addition to the fountain, from which very fresh water flows, there is a picnic table and a small house used as a refuge temporary by shepherds🐄🐑 and knights🐎

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 place of worship and a structure perched on the rock that leaves you breathless. To visit absolutely, free admission. Inside there is also a beautiful museum that shows the history of the volcano and bramea, and more.

One of the few fountains still functioning in Mount Vulture. The water is drinkable.. fresh, almost frozen. Easy to reach by taking the path from Monticchio and climbing for just over a kilometre.
