Leaving
the hotel and walking above Castelvecchio, which holds
a dominating fortified position over the Nera valley,
we take a picturesque path rising up into the village
of Saccovescio, a typical rural mountain settlement.
|
| From
here we start to climb the dramatic track leading to the
higher plains of Monte Moricone. This is an ideal picnic
spot where we share the beautiful view with the grasshoppers,
wild flowers and skylarks. From the plains we start a
descent down into Collescille which commands impressive
views over the Preci valley. |
|
|
Collescille,
located along a medieval pathway, used to be the cross
over point for people travelling to Visso in the Marche
region. We then follow a shaded forest path snaking
along the valley side which ultimately leads us back
into Saccovescio where we take the path back to Castelvecchio
and the hotel.. |
