Village, water, nature, sports and entertainment … welcome to Palena, the beating heart of Majella

Here are some photos sent by Marcella Di Girolamo that well tell the different souls of the village of Palena. A well-preserved historical center, immersed in a luxuriant and varied nature, with the river that crosses it and that creates perfect routes for sports activities such as canyoning. In fact, many tourists reach the village of Palena just to live this adrenaline experience among the waters of the Aventino river. Video by Guglielmo Di Camillo.
