Riserva regionale Voltigno e Valle d'Angri, Nature reserve in Abruzzo, Italy.
Riserva regionale Voltigno e Valle d'Angri is a nature reserve in the mountains featuring beech forests, valleys, and the Tavo River flowing through the terrain. The landscape encompasses extensive woodland and waterways across a high-altitude mountainous area.
The reserve was established in 1989 across the provinces of Pescara and L'Aquila as a protected area. It remained independent until 1999 when it was incorporated into Gran Sasso National Park.
Local shepherds keep herds of horses, cattle, and sheep that graze freely across the mountain meadows, shaping the daily rhythm of the landscape. This traditional practice of letting animals move freely through the seasons remains visible throughout the reserve.
In winter, visitors can use cross-country skiing trails, including a loop of about 15 kilometers through the area. The reserve is accessible from Pescara in less than an hour of travel.
The Tavo River disappears into the Bocca dell'Inferno cave system and emerges again further down as a waterfall. This hidden water route creates an unexpected natural feature within the reserve.
