Embark on the easy Path of the Heart, a delightful hike that winds for 3.8 miles (6.1 km) through varied terrain, including paved paths, natural trails, and gravel sections, often shaded by peaceful woods. You will gain 755 feet (230 metres) in elevation over an estimated 1 hour and 55 minutes, making it a pleasant outing for most. The highlight of this route is undoubtedly the panoramic viewpoint where you can admire Lake Scanno's distinctive heart shape, a truly memorable sight.
When planning your visit, remember to wear comfortable hiking shoes and carry enough water, especially on warmer days. You have the flexibility to begin your hike either from the charming Scanno village or from a starting point closer to the lake, both leading you to the main viewpoint. This trail is also a great option for families, proving suitable for children aged six to eight.
Beyond the stunning lake views, the route offers glimpses of the historic Hermitage of Sant'Egidio, a small Romanesque church nestled in the landscape. As you hike, you will also enjoy expansive vistas of the entire valley, with the majestic peaks of Terratta forming a dramatic backdrop. This unique combination of natural beauty and historical interest makes the Path of the Heart a standout experience in the region.
