Sorgenti del Vera
Abruzzo
Fed by snowmelt filtering through the Majella's limestone, these springs emerge cold and clear in a beech and fir forest above Pretoro, feeding a stream once channelled to power local sawmills. The walk is shaded nearly the entire way, making it a good choice on hot summer afternoons.
