Monticchio Lakes and Abbey Loop

Highlight • Lake

It is a small ride that makes you discover the various inlets that lead to the shore of the large lake. The descent from the Abbey to the small lake via the long staircase is challenging for the brakes

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).
