Hiking
From this viewpoint, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of the impressive Gran Sasso massif. Here stands the monument to Francesco De Marchi, the pioneer who was the first to climb the highest peak of the Apennines in 1573 and, a day later, also carried out the first documented speleological exploration.
An ideal place to rest for a while, enjoy the view, and reflect on a special piece of Italian mountaineering history.
