NatureNaturalistic Area, Stream and River, Castelluccio Valmaggiore

Valle Maggiore o del Celone - Castelluccio Valmaggiore

From a sense of peace and tranquillity from any point you can observe the wide Celone Valley.

The place

The stream Celone comes from the source Aquilone that is located between the Church of San Vito and the Taverna of the same name, along the Via Francigena of the South that in that stretch runs the Roman Via Traiana. At an altitude of 1050 a.s.l. the stream originates, which in the first section appears small, tortuous and hidden, therefore called Celone from the verb "Celare" (hide).

The wider valley of the Monti Dauni, and therefore also called "Maggiore" is crossed by the river Freddo and directly connects the highest mountain of Puglia, Monte Cornacchia, to the Tavoliere. A beautiful sheep track makes it suitable for trekking and mountain biking: an unforgettable experience, lulled by the roaring sound of the water and the leaves of the oaks shaken by the wind.
