Le Marche: Enchanted Mountains of the Wild National Park

Sibillini Mountain National Park with its unique flora and fauna will welcome visitors in the best way. Of the numerous myths that regard the Sibillini zone ( known since Medieval times as a land of demons, necromancers and fairies), the most famous are those linked to the Prophetess Sibyl. We will hike to the crown of Sibilla Mountain to see the entrance of the legendary cave. We couldn’t miss also Lame Rosse, Le Marche “little Cappadocia”, their particular shape is reminiscent of pinnacles and towers and the red colour will remind Mars landscape. The area is rich in history and culinary tradition as well…and we will not miss them!
