Artificial lake with splendid colors. It is worth doing the tour on the cycle and pedestrian path that runs along the banks. The beaches towards the dam (further away from the village) are less crowded)

The belvedere on Lake Fiastra is a panoramic point located on the road that connects the hamlet of Fiegni to Lake Fiastra. You are inside the Monti Sibillini National Park, and from here you can admire a splendid view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
