Piani di Castelluccio, Plateau in Norcia, Italy.
The Piani di Castelluccio extends across three distinct plains - Pian Grande, Pian Piccolo, and Pian Perduto, covering 15 square kilometers at 1350 meters elevation.
The plateau formed through millennia of geological processes in the Umbro-Marchigiano Apennines, creating a network of underground water systems that feed local rivers.
Local farmers maintain traditional cultivation methods for their renowned lentils, which grow in the mineral-rich soil of these mountain plains.
Visitors must use designated parking areas and shuttle services during peak flowering season between May and July to protect the natural environment.
Multiple deep sinkholes called Mergani naturally regulate the water drainage across the plateau, maintaining the delicate balance of this karstic ecosystem.
