The lake of the split mountain, at 1100 meters above sea level. in the municipality of Alfedena, it offers a breathtaking view and a wild experience. Perfect for family excursions and for cooling off in nature. Not equipped, but diving is possible. To be seen! Uncrowded, quiet and relaxing, it is a refuge for deer. In August it can get crowded. In the heart of the forest, you find peace. A lovely venue if in the area.
