It has borders with the provinces of Teramo to the north, Pescara and Chieti to the east, Isernia (in Molise region) to the south and Frosinone, Rome and Rieti (in Lazio region) to the west. Its capital is the city of L'Aquila. The Province of L'Aquila includes the highest mountains of the Apennines (Gran Sasso, Maiella and Velino-Sirente), their highest peak, Corno Grande, the high plain of Campo Imperatore, and Europe's southernmost glacier, the Calderone. The province's major rivers are the Aterno-Pescara, Sangro, Liri, Salto, and the Turano; its major lakes are Lago Scanno and Lago Barrea. It once included the largest lake on the Italian peninsula, Lago Fucino, which was drained in one of the 19th century's largest engineering projects. The lake basin is today a flourishing agricultural area and an important technological district.

Sentiero del Cuore

Reviewed By Amy_Jade18

Really beautiful view from the view point, definitely worth the walk - about 20mins from the town. There’s very little signposting though and mixed signs! So I’ve written our route below. To get to the view point in my images: Find “Sentinero del Cuore” on Google maps and head there. Park on the roadside just further down from the bottom of the road in picture 1. You can’t park anywhere down the road shown in 1 and it’s a dead end. Follow the main track, ignoring the side roads (2 and 3) Go up the ‘no entry’ road (that says private property) and then take the path up hill to the right of the house (4) Take the left turn into the path through the gate (there’s a monastery on the path to the right and a different view point straight on) Follow the main path ignoring the signposted right route (5) and stay on this path Follow the path around through the trees, you’ll see some orange paint on the trees to show you’re going the right way (6) Go up the rocky path uphill and then uphill again, ignoring the path to the right (7) Keep going uphill staying on the main wide path and then into the woods a short distance, where you’ll see the view point wooden sign (8) and the view point and a red bench are on the right :)
