An extraordinary natural heritage
Located at borders with Abruzzo, the Simbruinis are one of the most beautiful and important mountain regions of Lazio and take their name from the Latin sub Imbris ("under the rain"), under the high rainfall in the area. Here, amongst the mountains over 2000 meters, endless forests and grasslands in many places you can taste sensations of authentic wilderness, accentuated by the fact that these mountains are still uncrowded and little known except to the renowned ski resorts of Livata and Field Staff. Protected by a large regional park, the Simbruinis preserve a unique natural heritage, with an extremely varied, marked on the one hand by the presence of rivers and Aniene Simbrivio, which provide the 2000 water year in Rome, and another from the phenomenology of Karst, here particularly strong: in fact, numerous caves (both while allowing cavers, such as those dell'Inferniglio and Stockholm), not to mention the countless serious sinkholes, dolines and karren (do not miss the plateau of funds Jenne ) making it almost everywhere low water level, and leave it reappear in the purest sources.
history, art and spirituality
The area of \u200b\u200bthe park, the land of ancient wild Equi, is deeply marked by man. At Subiaco, in Roman Emperor Nero built himself an impressive villa complete with three lakes dell'Aniene obtained through the barrier. In the Dark Ages then, at the initiative of a young St. Benedict of Norcia, who began his monastic experience, many monasteries were born today, dominating the ruins of the imperial residence, we can still admire the famous and spectacular monastery of Santa school and the Sacro Speco, rich in art and imbued an atmosphere of intense spirituality. The two monasteries and the underlying Gorges dell'Aniene (stretching up to the humble and silent solitary Jenne, where Fogazzaro setting for "The Saint") form one of the most romantic landscapes in Italy, loved and praised at the time of the Grand Tour Still "landscapes of the spirit" in the nearby Valley of Simbrivio, where the umpteenth scene of exceptional beauty hides the ancient Shrine of the Holy Trinity, dug at the foot of a bold cliff. Among the countries, however, deserves a special mention is the picturesque village of crib-Cervara of Rome, known for sculptures that adorn its cliff, offering breathtaking views of the valley dell'Aniene the point where it widens into a valley surrounded by woods and dotted with medieval villages.
The magic of the seasons
Without doubt, one of the most beautiful of Simbruini is the changing seasons. The majestic forests of beech and maple top look strikingly compact dimensions and wide (between adjacent Ernici Simbruini and extends the largest beech forest in Europe), while as you get closer to the valley floor - if you feel the ' influence of the rivers - the vegetation is mixed with oaks, oaks, willows and poplars. The result is a beautiful landscape, rich colors constantly changing throughout the year by the haunting and melancholy autumn, with its infinite nuances, to the festive spring with bright green foliage of the trees and orchids in the pastures.
A paradise for hiking
characterized by a succession of plateaus surrounded by dense beech forests, the Simbruinis favor a light hiking and relaxing. Moreover, with the exception of the three main peaks, Mount Vigil (2156 m.), Monte Cotento (2015 m.) and Mount Tarino (1997 m.), the Simbruini mountains offer plenty of space without a some importance, and therefore perfect for those looking for long walks in nature with little effort. At the same time, however, the ascent of the Vigil in winter with snow reserves climbing difficulties, while the slope to the top of Tarino Sgambati is a beautiful all year. An area suitable for all requirements in short excursions, and also great for riding through the increasingly vast prairies, which is no coincidence that some were used as a set for western movies, including cult They Call Me Trinity , shot almost entirely on 'Plateau Camposecco.
