A 30-minute walk to admire the heart-shaped lake. A souvenir photo is guaranteed. The path is clearly signposted from the “Sentiero del Cuore” car park. You might spot a doe along the way.

Set off to discover the Abruzzo bear on a trail that is accessible to young children and will also interest adults. Themed panels present different aspects of the animal and offer games and activities.

Departure from Lama dei Peligni (Chieti)
This walk offers the chance to spot wild chamois in the Majella Nature Park. Plan to set off in the morning or return in the late afternoon to maximise your chances of seeing them. Otherwise, the views and panoramas across the Abruzzo National Park are magnificent.

Departure from Acciano (L'Aquila)
A fairly easy and very pleasant walk connecting a small village to a slightly larger town. The start is a little steep, but the walk is worth the effort, with breathtaking scenery. An accessible walk in a less frequented part of Abruzzo

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.
