Travelling through Abruzzo, we went to the western part of the L’Aquila basin, at the foot of the mountains, to find the woods of Tornimparte on the way to the Vaccamorta Caves and Monte Cava. The mountaineering-style trail reaches as far as the Campo Felice plain


Many years ago I agreed with some friends to make a three-day crossing with backpacks, from Tornimparte to the Valle del Salto, over several mountains in a truly exhilarating setting.
It was summer, of course, and not cold. The experience was truly unforgettable: for a few days we were completely in touch with the wildest nature, listening to the birdsong and the rustling of the leaves.
As often happens, we also got caught in a violent storm at night, but it gave us no trouble, as we were well equipped for that too.
What does all this have to do with the pictures on this page? The starting point was exactly the same, the sign saying "Grotte di Vaccamorta". Here, of course, it is winter, but I have promised myself to come back in summer too. What about you: will you pop over to see these places? I say it is worth it.
