Tips from the Community
A few kilometers from the town of Alvito, among the mountains bordering Abruzzo, there is the so-called Fossa Maiura (815 m), a karst depression that almost forms a natural amphitheater: it is a gigantic sinkhole about 100 meters deep and about 3 km in circumference, in the shape of an inverted truncated cone with a perimeter of more than a kilometer. This is where the waters that feed the Fibreno originate.

Unfortunately I have to inform you that 2 days ago I tried to take the road starting from Roccasecca but in the first km the road is closed by several gates in succession and while the first two can easily be opened and passed, the third gate is almost impassable because it is on a small bridge that would require you to climb over the parapet. Maybe even passing this gate you will encounter others. More updates are welcome from anyone who has them, because I would really like to try again.

Magnificent road closed to traffic due to rockfall... it is passable by bike but be careful

Last stretch of the gorges, before the Cuccetto del Diavolo waterfall.

Panoramic point at the beginning of the route. The best time to visit the Lacerno Gorges is between the end of June and the end of August. The path is not marked, but you can see where it is possible to pass. For safety reasons I suggest putting on a helmet before entering the gorges.

Beautiful panorama views. Along the gorges of the Melfa river between overhangs of living rock, where eagles nest

Wonderful gorge created by the Melfa river, in a completely natural scenery. Road closed to cars because of falling rocks grant 15km of safe cycling
