Beautiful but at times you pass through the forestry construction site and have to go around the woods

March 3, 2025,Escursione fra le vette dei Castelli Romani

The most beautiful excursion that can be done in the Castelli Romani Park, touching the peaks of the 3 mountains that constituted the internal caldera of the ancient Lazio volcano. An excursion recommended at any time of the year, for the landscapes and nature that can be enjoyed.
