Description

"Corradino" trail runs back through the way of the army led by the blond and young chief Corradino of Swabia, Prince of the Hohenstaufen family. Coming from Germany, he led his army from Carsoli to Piani Palentini near Scurcola Marsicana.
Here, in a historical battle (23 August 1268) named by Dante Alighieri "Tagliacozzo battle" the destiny on Sicily Kingdom and the future of southern Italy were decided.

A sanguinary fight won by the Papal army of Carlo D'Angio tanks to the cunning of "old" Alardo of Valery. Sixteen years old Prince Corradino was caught and beheaded in Naples.

It is hard to accept the death of a youth. Walking through these trails is like paying a tribute to universal peace and it means to give the right consideration to the high naturalistic value of the whole territory; it is like building up the correct and balanced union between man's needs and the indispensable protection of the vital environment which surrounds him

The "Imele and Uri rivers high valleis" trail is like a long terrace over the major mountaines of Abruzzo
The moist environments are alternated to thick woods, to high peaks and also many caves are present. Marvellous views of Val de' Varri valley, of Velino Sirente Natural Regional Park, of Fucino plane, of enchanting beech-wood of Carseolian, Simbruines and Ernie mounts, and farther south, of Abruzzo National Park and Maiello National Park.

The grid of trails are surrounded by a beautiful nature: walk slowly through them, learn about their history and poetry, catch their beneficial virtues.
