The Forre di Corchiano (vie cave) are works declared a natural monument. They are located in the town of Corchiano (which stands on a tufaceous cliff), the vie cave are a work created by man. It is a vertical cut to create a road that softens the sometimes harsh slopes of nature.

Hiking

Walking along via S. Egidio, you will find the beginning of this short but very suggestive path inside a "via cava" (roads dug through the tuff that connected the bottom of the valley with the territories above and, in other areas, were also used to drain excess water from agricultural land). This via cava is full of caves dug directly into the tuff, probably used as stables or cellars to store wine or food.
