Scenic view of Lake Nemi

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this path above Genzano it is particularly beautiful to look down and search with your eyes the waters of Lake Nemi, one of the bodies of water of the Alban Hills. Along the path, instead, you could find the famous wild strawberries for which Nemi is famous throughout Lazio.

Tempesta Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

This large fountain is located in one of the main junctions of the trail system of the Colli Albani park. It is a seasonal source so the presence of water is not guaranteed all year round. It is a very suggestive place to immerse yourself in nature, despite being just a few steps from Via dei Laghi.

La Loggetta di Monte Cavo (also called l'Occhialone) is a splendid panoramic point at 908 meters above sea level on Monte Cavo in Rocca di Papa, offering a breathtaking view of the volcanic lakes of Albano and Nemi and the Lazio coastline.

A small natural terrace (also called "eyes of Venus" or l'Occhialone) from which you can see the two lakes side by side and, on clear days, the Circeo and the Pontine Islands.

Via Sacra

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Via Sacra is a beautiful paved road from the Roman era that climbs to the top of Monte Cavo. Today it is famous above all for the panoramic point to which it leads, called Occhialone, from which you can enjoy a suggestive panorama that simultaneously embraces the two lakes of the area, that of Albano and that of Nemi.
