Camosciara

Abruzzo

Set aside as a protected zone as early as 1921, this basin of beech forest and limestone crags was the original heart of the national park and remains one of the best places to see Apennine chamois at close range. Waterfalls tumble from the Camosciara cliffs after rain, feeding the Sangro tributary below.
