NATIONAL PARK OF THE BIG STONE AND MOUNTAINS OF THE LAGA
The highest mountain of the Appenino, a colossus of rock to a handful of kilometers from the sea, surrounded by a crown of giants.
150.000 hectares of nature and culture in the green heart of Italy, through forests and castles, falls and fairy villages, strengthened suburbs and plain boundless, tall walls of rock flown over from royal eagles.
This is the National Park of the Gran Sasso
and Mountains of the Laga, one of the
vast
of Europe, that extends him from south
to
north and embraces three mountainous
groups,
the Gran Stone, the Mountains of the
Laga
and the Gemini Mountains. Here the
prodigious
treasures of the nature cohabit from
millennia
with the remarkable cultural patrimony
of
the local civilizations, a harmonic
equilibrium
between human experiences and natural
strengths.
The Intermesoli the Crow the Cefalone,
and
then the Brancastello, the Prena, the
Camicia.
A mighty chain of over 30 Kms that
cross
the center of Italy imposing itself
on the
low hills that degrade toward the sea.
Now National Park, the Gran Stone is
true
and complete mountain: vast woods,
immense
meadow highlands, dizzy walls.
It is the Park of the records, that
contains
the most southern glacier in Europe,
the
Cauldron, the wider artificial lake
of Italy,
that of Campotosto, animal kinds of
European
interest and a flora with high biological
difference that manifests it in spring
with
an unique explosion of colors and of
great
suggestion.
A choice of 64 itineraries to cross
on foot
for knowing all the aspects of it ,
from
the binding slopes of the highest peaks,
to the walks to visit castles and hermitages.
Enchanting suburbs stud an unique landscape, human garrisons that have done the history of these mountains. The huge archaeological patrimony is excited by the famous Warrior of Capestrano.
The Park is also an immense resource of craftsmanship, of folklore, of gastronomy, of agricultural crops and typical products of high quality as the pecorino of Farindola, the mortadellina of Campotosto, the marroni of the Laga, the lentils of Saint Stephen of Sessanio and the saffron of the plain one of Navelli, valorized and promoted through intelligent tourist-cultural itineraries.
