Monte Carpegna, Limestone mountain in Marche, Italy.
Monte Carpegna is a limestone mountain in the Marche region, standing at approximately 1,400 meters with steep rock faces carved into its slopes. Multiple hiking trails crisscross the peak and connect through various mountain passes where routes converge.
The territory was ruled by the Carpegna Counts as an independent domain until 1819, when their authority ended. The region then became integrated into the Papal State under papal administration.
The mountain sits within the Regional Natural Park of Sasso Simone and Simoncello, where karst features shape how visitors move through and experience the landscape. Local trails pass through areas that show how people have historically used these slopes for farming and herding.
The mountain can be accessed via several marked hiking routes that are part of established trail systems in the area. Visitors should note that the paths vary in difficulty level and suit different fitness abilities.
The southern slopes display clearly layered rock formations that geologists use to study the region's geological history. These visible strata make the southwestern face an important location for studying sedimentary rock development.
