Parco territoriale attrezzato Sorgenti solfuree del Lavino, Nature reserve in Scafa, Italy
Parco territoriale attrezzato Sorgenti solfuree del Lavino is a nature reserve in the Province of Pescara with mineral springs that create pools of green and turquoise water throughout the area. The site includes a children's playground and picnic spaces accessible via trails from the provincial road.
The area contains a 16th-century mill that operated with grinding stones to process grain. This structure shows how the river's power was used for centuries to support local work.
The name comes from the Lavino River, which powered industrial facilities during the region's development. Water management became central to how people lived and worked in this valley.
The park is easily accessible from the provincial road, and the trails suit families with children. Wear sturdy shoes since some areas can be damp or muddy.
The sulfur springs feed the river with large volumes of water that changes color at different points in the park. These color shifts happen because of the minerals dissolved in the water and create a striking visual effect.
