Very panoramic stage at the foot of Velino. Accompanied by the flight of griffon vultures and the bellowing of numerous male deer that, this year, have started the mating season very early. Numerous encounters with wolf-hunting dogs, always resolved in the best possible way. Upon arrival, Paola from the B&B A casa di nonna welcomed us. Kind and helpful.

It's a shame we couldn't climb the final forest towards Massa d'Albe for about 2 km due to the presence of free dogs along the route. Reported to the organization of the walk. The point where the dogs are found, near a farm, is after the fork in the path that leads to Magliano dei Marsi.
