Tips from the Community
Let me start by saying that I did a complete tour of the lake starting from the crossroads on the state road to Tufara and then going back up towards Celenza Valfortore. As far as I'm concerned, I preferred the Apulian side to the Molise side, both for the panorama and for the "quality" of the road. I suggest turning around at the barrier (Puglia side) since at a certain point there is no practicable route. We took absurd gambles in the middle of bushes full of thorns. Furthermore, according to the operators of the barrier, you have to call the consortium and get a permit to be able to cross.
