点评:The Sibillini mountain range, formed 50 – 100 million years ago at the bottom of a long-ago extinct sea, straddles the Marche and Umbria regions. It’s off the beaten track for most tourists but it’s a stunning area.
It’s most famous for the flower fields of the Piano Grande which we visited on a previous trip.
On our recent trip to Marche, we spent a day hiking up Monte Sibilla (see separate TA review, listed under ‘Monte Sibilla’).
The scenery was mind-blowing but we also noticed a huge variety of beautiful wildflowers. The mountain consists largely of limestone rock, so we were surprised to see such an abundance of flowers.
Early in the walk, at the lower levels, we tall spikes of yellow mullein and lots of little ultramarine blue, star-shaped Spring Gentian (one of our group described them as little blue propellors which was accurate but not as romantic as star-shaped).
One of the prettiest was the perennial cornflower which was a striking fuchsia-purple colour with a hot pink centre. It looked not unlike an anemone
We noticed the flowers and plants changing, the higher up we climbed (the peak sits at 2173 metres).
High up on the ridge line, we saw larger, deeper blue trumpet gentians and bright, white rock jasmine. The petals were such a clean white with a bright pink, orange or yellow centre. Gathered together, with their different coloured centres, they looked like small posies.
Overall, there is so much to enjoy in the part of Italy.
翻译:锡比利尼山脉形成于 50 至 1 亿年前,形成于很久以前灭绝的海洋底部,横跨马尔凯和翁布里亚地区。对于大多数游客来说,这里是人迹罕至的地方,但却是一个令人惊叹的地方。
它最著名的是我们上次旅行时参观过的大钢琴花园花田。
在我们最近的马尔凯之旅中,我们花了一天的时间徒步攀登西比拉山(参见单独的猫途鹰评论,列在“西比拉山”下)。
风景令人惊叹,但我们也注意到了各种各样美丽的野花。这座山主要由石灰岩组成,所以我们很惊讶地看到如此丰富的花朵。
在步行的早期,在较低的楼层,我们高高地长着黄色的毛蕊花和许多群青蓝色的星形春龙胆(我们小组中的一个人将它们描述为蓝色的小螺旋桨,这是准确的,但不像星形的那么浪漫) )。
其中最漂亮的是多年生矢车菊,它的颜色是引人注目的紫红色,中心是粉红色的。它看起来与海葵没什么不同
随着我们爬得越高(山顶海拔2173米),我们注意到花草发生了变化。
在山脊线的高处,我们看到了更大、更深的蓝色喇叭龙胆和明亮的白色岩茉莉。花瓣是洁白的,中心有亮粉色、橙色或黄色。它们聚集在一起,中心颜色不同,看起来就像小花束。
总的来说,意大利有很多值得享受的地方。
