Sentiero di Rocca Calascio
Abruzzo
The walk up from Calascio village crosses open, flower-strewn slopes to reach one of the most photographed fortresses in Italy, its stone tower silhouetted against the Gran Sasso range. Away from the small crowds at the top, the surrounding ridgeline offers quieter spots to sit with the same view.
