Selected alternatives for you
    A good pair of binoculars, hiking boots, and a packed lunch to dive into the Eagle Route, a short path leading to the observatory from which you can see the nests of the Golden Eagle. Just one precaution: do not make noise; if disturbed, this magnificent bird of prey abandons its nest and never returns.

    The route starts from the Golden Eagle Museum in Civitella di Licenza. The trail climbs from the paved path that coincides with a section of the Orvinio-Licenza stage of the Saint Benedict Trail. At a fork, where there is an educational panel, turn left onto trail 306B, continuing halfway up the hill through the woods, where between April and May you can observe the flowering of various mountain orchid species. Shortly after, you arrive at Fonte Pelavena, a spring with small pools created to support the reproduction of the spectacled salamander; you pass a wooden gate and continue until you reach a wide clearing. Opposite, anchored to rock spurs on the slopes of Monte Pellecchia, are the nests; to the right, a shelter offers hikers a refuge to patiently wait, binoculars in hand, for the eagles to take flight.

    Safety information

    • In the mountains, weather conditions can change very rapidly; check the weather reports before the hike.
    • All the information provided is indicative; moreover, trail accessibility is strictly linked to environmental changes, often sudden, due to natural phenomena, so no responsibility is assumed. Before departing, check the trail status with the management body of the Monti Lucretili Natural Park.
    • Starting alone is risky; bring your phone and, in any case, consider that some mountain areas may not have signal; it is advisable always to leave details about your itinerary and approximate return time.
    • In any case, consider that some mountain areas may not have signal; it is good to carry a whistle to send acoustic signals if needed (a short sound, 2/3 seconds long, repeated six times within a minute, repeated until a response is received).
    • Pay attention to the indications and signs along the route.
    • As in all Natural Parks, flowers and botanical species here are protected and must not be picked; photograph them to keep a memory and allow others to enjoy them as well.
