Cammino e Incanto Bed & Trek: where it is

The property is in the hamlet of Casale Nuovo. All around, wide stretches of forest alternate with pastures still used for sheep and cattle, crossed by streams and springs that flow down toward the Fluvione; between June and July the flowering broom colors the slopes yellow.

Cammino e Incanto Bed & Trek: what to see nearby

The best-known trail in the municipality starts from the hamlet of Colle and climbs to the summit of Vettore or to Lago di Pilato, the only natural lake in Le Marche and one of the very few glacial lakes in the Apennines: it is a route for experienced hikers.

Gentler is the walk up to Balzo Vecchia, the tiny village inhabited until the 17th century on the hill below the main village. From Via Monterone, in Balzo, a wide, easy track leads in about half an hour to the top, where the outline of the church and a barrel-vaulted cistern remain among the vegetation. From up there you can see Vettore, the villages at its foot such as Castro, Interprete, Pistrino and Colle, and the valley with Abetito, Forca and Fonditore. There are no water fountains along the way.
