Excellent walk, I took the wrong path and took a slightly more impervious one, but not bad, if you have a pair of sticks and slightly more technical trekking shoes with you, from the ones I used it is a pleasure to do it.

The Chiaravalle di Fiastra Abbey is one of the best preserved Cistercian abbeys in Italy. Here the Benedictine ideal of work and prayer, in addition to becoming concrete and visible through an architectural language of rare beauty, has also been able to profoundly mark the history of the area, enriching it with precious and interesting testimonies. With the aim of protecting the surrounding environment, the Abbadia di Fiastra Nature Reserve was born in 1984, covering an area of 1,800 hectares. Inside you will also find a restaurant/bar
