The last stretch to reach the cave is very steep and insidious, I absolutely recommend suitable shoes and don't disdain poles to keep your balance. Once reached, it pays off the effort made to get there. As of today, the next stretch is off-limits, so you can only go back uphill, facing the particularly challenging stretch.

I recommend not doing the whole route but going back after reaching Grotta dei Frati. In fact, going down further, you reach the river and to continue you literally have to walk into it. There is no path on the side. In addition, after crossing the river and taking the path again, the road is impassable due to a landslide since 2022.
Nice route but the circular tour is no longer possible.

From Grotta dei Frati go back and do not continue the path towards the river. Dangerous path and also closed by an ordinance of 2022 due to subsidence of the land. The path literally passes inside the river (in reality a real path no longer exists) and once you have resumed the marked path, you will find yourself in front of a sign prohibiting access to pedestrians due to danger.
