Sorgenti del Pescara, Popoli
Abruzzo
The Sorgenti del Pescara at Popoli are the springs where the Pescara river is born — groundwater from the Gran Sasso limestone aquifer resurges in a series of cold springs (10°C). Otter confirmed. White-clawed crayfish (endangered) in the spring channels. The springs are adjacent to the Gole del Sagittario — the gorge where the young Pescara cuts through limestone. Dogs on leash in the wetland reserve.
