Rank : 9.3 (average on 7 votes)

Coordinates : 42.825922, 13.265042 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The subjects range from landscapes to photograph the flowers from the wonderful beauty hardly ritrovabili in other sites, which have nothing to do with the underlying Castelluccio. It differs in altitude (1300m 1900m against the Plan.) Obviously affects a lot on the flora.

Recommended equipment : Watch your weight. At the lake you can get there only by trekking on foot with equipment. Be highly recommended a macro lens for the flora that will surprise you. Do not be so surprise you at this point. Bring a wide angle as well. In front of a lake 24 (size FF) might not be enough. For the weight you also deal with a tripod, mini maybe, it is important not to shake the camera angles that are always right.

Best months : The best time is definitely one of the summer months, not only for plants but also for the climate. Keep in mind that you climb to an altitude of 1900m, with a chance to go over to 2400 m about to go up on the ridges of the Carrier. Of course I also see the frozen lake, surrounded by snow in the winter is yet another show.

How to get there : Climb only on foot. The trails are three and depart from Foce, a fraction of Montemonaco (AP), from Forca Of Presta, crossing the Apennines, which divides the province of Ascoli from Perugia, and by Viola fork that goes from the side of Castelluccio. They are all well marked and in the summer also quite busy so that they are never alone. To avoid surprises is always recommended to take all appropriate information. I recommend starting from Castelluccio through Forca Viola. It commands an excellent view of the road and is less steep, total 6-7 hours to walk there and back. And it is one that you can see in my gallery excursion to the lake. The shortest, but the most inaccessible, is one that departs from Forca di Presta. The choice is yours.

Visits : Being a natural environment the 'Access is free to all. But there is a ban. It is forbidden to bathe in the waters of the lake. You also need to keep a distance of at least 5 meters from the edge of the same to avoid stepping on a small crustacean eggs laid on the shore and among the rocks in the dry. This crustacean is the chirocefalo Marchesonii: shrimp living only in this lake. A real curiosity. But to learn more, I refer you to the website beneath.

Notes : The tour takes the whole day anyway, so you can expand it by adding ridges of the Carrier. It is a loop trail that runs along the upper part of the mountain range that includes just the Mount Carrier and the Redeemer, the highest peaks of the Monti Sibillini. This route is very beautiful and scenic, with views of the Marche side and on the plateau of Castelluccio. E 'to bear in mind, however, that the route is not suitable for everyone. Experience is required as there are difficult passages.
