Verdefiastra: what to see nearby

Lago di Fiastra is artificial and lies within the national park of the Sibillini Mountains. It was created in 1954 by damming the Fiastrone river. The water level can be lowered for maintenance, so it is worth checking before going.

From the dam starts the trail to the Lame Rosse canyon, a walk of a few hours there and back.
