Tips from the Community
A beautiful circular hike in the Calanchi di Atri Regional Nature Park. The reserve is always open and free of charge. You can admire various rock formations created by the action of water on the clay soil.

Monte Girella is the top of the Montagna dei fiori. You can climb to the top via an easy path starting from the Monte Piselli ski lifts in the San Giacomo area. From the top, on clear days you can see the Adriatic coast up to Conero, the Gran Sasso and Sibillini mountains. It is beautiful to observe the nearby Montagna di Campli.

The Bear Lake is located at 1650 meters above sea level once you leave the forest in the direction of the path to Pizzo di Moscio. The lake is no longer visible in summer. The view of the Monti della Laga is beautiful

The Refuge is located along the path that goes up to Lago dell'Orso (now no longer visible). Unfortunately it is not well maintained, perhaps used by shepherds passing through those places. Near the Refuge you can admire a native cultivation of Genziana.

We tried to walk around Corno Piccolo, but that is not possible without gear. Halfway we had te go back and then walked up to the Refugio. Very nice view and very nice walk.

The trail is NOT appropriate for all skill levels. Also it is NOT easy to follow and most importantly it is closed after a few hundred meters from the church. I would NOT RECOMMEND
