Departure from Caporciano (L'Aquila)
We are not very athletic and only go hiking a few days a year.
Please note that after KM 9, I choose to cut straight across, off the trail. The trail leading south is not maintained and is very steep. We had a bit of difficulty, whereas the path indicated on my route is more passable.

The deer reserve offers an immersive experience of their natural habitat. The path is accessible to all; part of it is paved and part is a gravel surface, allowing access for adapted wheelchairs. Along the 1.5 km route, you’ll see a stream and a natural lake, the woods, and you’ll walk alongside the enclosure where deer and other wild animals live in semi-freedom. A small chapel is also easily accessible (you’ll need to walk a few dozen metres uphill from the start of the walk).

The Cascade del Verde is the highest waterfall in Italy.

There is a very pleasant bar and restaurant where you can relax before setting off again.
