Starting from Campo dell'Osso, at an altitude of 1,750 meters, amid cool beech forests and silence broken only by the sound of tires on the ground. After a short initial stretch on a mixed trail, we immediately enter the heart of Cannavacciari, one of the most evocative trails in the Simbruini Mountains Natural Park. The trail winds steadily downhill, technical yet fluid, for 6.2 km, reaching Campo Secco at 1,340 meters. The elevation gain is significant—about 410 meters—but the varied terrain makes it fun and never boring. Fast sections alternate with tight curves, passages over roots, rocks, and some counter-slopes of up to 19%, reminding us that even on descents, you need to be strong. Every curve offers glimpses of the forest, shady sections, and the scent of pristine nature. The Cannavacciari trail has a touch of the ancient past: it's said to have been a link once used by charcoal burners and shepherds, and today it's beloved by mountain bike enthusiasts for its wild and authentic feel. The trail isn't always marked, so GPS is strongly recommended. Once you reach Campo Secco, an intense experience comes to an end, where every meter has been earned with technique and attention. A must for those who love natural, uncontrived enduro.

The Simbruini Mountains plateau is a crossroads for interesting and varied trails. Cycling on this plateau, you can take advantage of its connection to a wide variety of destinations, including Livata, Campaegli, Vedute, Cervara, and Fioio. The only drawback is the lack of fountains.

This mill, built by Benedictine monks around the year 1000, was a fundamental point of reference for the inhabitants of the town and the surrounding areas. For centuries, people brought grain here to be ground, relying on the power of the water that, even today, flows clear and abundant. Today, all that remains of the Mola are the sturdy walls and the room where the milling took place, immersed in an almost fairy-tale landscape. All around, the river makes its way through moss and waterfalls, creating water games and reflections of light that make the atmosphere magical, especially in the early hours of the morning or at sunset. It is easy to let your imagination run wild and think about what life here must have been like once upon a time, with the noise of the millstones and the smell of freshly baked bread that spread through the houses of Jenne. The Vecchia Mola is not only a place of historical memory, but also an oasis of uncontaminated nature. In the surrounding area there are crystalline springs, such as that of the Cardellino, and paths that invite you to explore woods, caves and small waterfalls. Traveling along these routes, you often meet hikers, families and nature lovers, all attracted by the simple and authentic beauty of this corner of Lazio.

The Sorgente del Cardellino is one of the most evocative springs of the upper course of the Aniene, located in the territory of the Simbruini Mountains Park, between Jenne and Trevi nel Lazio. This spring flows from a travertine rock completely covered in moss, creating an environment of great naturalistic charm. Along the path that crosses this part of the valley you will also find the Sorgente delle Tartare and the Cascata del Cardellino, which together form one of the most beautiful and uncontaminated landscapes of Lazio. The path that leads to the Sorgente del Cardellino is flat and also suitable for inexperienced hikers, allowing you to admire the richness of water and vegetation typical of mountain areas. The area is also famous for the presence of fauna such as the brown trout and numerous species of birds, including the goldfinch, which probably gives its name to the spring itself.
