A taste of the Abruzzo mountains of Italy

A blanket of misty cloud has settled in the valley just as the sun is preparing to bring a new day. We have just passed L'aquila, next to the medieval village of Assergi where we have discovered a camping paradise. High on the mountain near Campo Imperatore we have Mother Nature at her best! The hills are a sea of green. Pine and birch trees surround. Little has interfered or disturbed this gracious view. Here we dismiss chaos and daily schedules. Only the whispering ears from ancient villages and mountain pastures lay await for us to explore. Our route will lead through the Gran Sasso, Abruzzo and Maiella National Parks

A blanket of misty cloud has settled in the valley just as the sun is preparing to bring a new day. We have just passed L'aquila, next to the medieval village of Assergi where we have discovered a camping paradise. High on the mountain only a few kilometres from Campo Imperatore we have Mother Nature at her best! The hills are a sea of green. Pine and birch trees surround. Little has interfered or disturbed this gracious view. Here we dismiss chaos and daily schedules. Only the whispering ears from ancient villages and mountain pastures lay await for us to explore.
