In Abruzzo, at Rocca Calascio

Along the famous Gran Sasso Trail, you follow stage 3: Rocca Calascio – Santo Stefano di Sessanio . In the Gran Sasso National Park, the medieval fortress overlooks a secluded and picturesque mountain landscape. From the foot of the castle, an ancient mule track winds its way down through high-altitude pastures and the San Vincenzo Valley to the fortified village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio. The autumn mists and the surrounding ruins evoke a Gothic atmosphere, even without any specific ghost stories.
