City of Stone
The City of Stone is a charming natural labyrinth located in the Aschiero Forest, at approximately 1,650 meters above sea level, just above the town of Prati di Tivo. This geological formation is composed of enormous erratic limestone boulders that, nestled among centuries-old beech trees, create the illusion of a true mineral city made up of narrow alleys and natural squares. It's a fairytale-like place, accessible via a short hike, popular with hikers seeking unusual routes and drytooling enthusiasts. For more information on the area's trails, visit the official website of the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park.
