Lago di Castel San Vincenzo

Molise

Ringed by wooded hills and the historic Abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno nearby, this lake sits at the quiet western edge of the national park, far less crowded than the Abruzzo villages on the other side. A flat path suits an easy morning walk before tackling the steeper Mainarde trails above.
