View of Heart-Shaped Lake Scanno

Highlight • Viewpoint

A place in Abruzzo for all romantics: from here the Scanno lake takes its beautiful heart shape, which also gives its name to the path that leads to the belvedere. Experts trace the origin of this natural lake back about 3000 years.

Lake Scanno

Highlight • Lake

Going up the Sagittario river to its sources, after having traveled a few kilometers of dense gorges and continuing beyond the village of Villalago, Lake Scanno opens up to view, a basin of natural origins formed over 3000 years ago due to a large landslide detached from Mount Genzana which blocked the flow of the river Tasso. Located at 922 meters above sea level , is also known for its characteristic heart-shaped conformation that can be admired from the top of its surrounding mountains. The humidity and the coolness of the clear waters of the lake mix with the intense scent of the mountain. A place of vacation and passage, its waters reflected poets, artists, architects, actors, illustrious men, simple people attracted by the enchanted lake "of love".

Historic Village of Scanno

Highlight • Settlement

Nice place, which seems suitable as a location for day trips - at least there are marked trails (but not tried).
