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

View of the Monticchio Lakes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Panoramic point visible going down the road that leads to the lakes of Monticchio. Not one of the best points from where it is possible to admire the splendor of the lakes.
