    An easy trail winding through the olive grove of Arco and, in part, along the ancient Stations of the Cross which leads to Laghel, a little valley not far from Arco.

    Author’s recommendation

    Laghel is famous for its vanishing lake or “non-existing lake”. When there is heavy rain, a little lake forms in the centre of the valley but then it soaks back into the ground and disappears once more.
