パルマカンパーニアの天然記念物・トップ20

The very panoramic itinerary allows you to enjoy the most suggestive and wild scenery of Somma-Vesuvius, crossing forest environments, scrubland up to bare lava rock. The starting point is located along the road that from the Medici Palace of Ottaviano continues towards the volcanic complex. A barrier prohibiting vehicular traffic marks the beginning of the route, the first stretch of the path, common with path no. 1, winds along asphalted hairpin bends, and then turns into a dirt path. The plant landscape consists initially of a thick pine forest of stone pine and then in a mesophilous forest, with essences such as chestnut, Neapolitan alder, Neapolitan maple, holm oak, black locust. Among the nesting birds, the minute lesser spotted woodpecker, rare and localized in Campania, has only recently colonized the Vesuvius Park. After more than 1 km of walking on a steep climb you reach Largo Angelo Prisco dedicated to the young financier murdered by poachers in 1995 which represents the closest destination. From the Largo, path no. 1 branches off to the left, while the itinerary continues on the right on a slight climb, entering, between twists and turns, into a shady chestnut grove where the numerous species of mushrooms present give off an intense and pleasant fragrance.

Definitely not accessible by bike, at least not at this time of year. The path is completely overgrown, and even on foot it was barely passable. But the grotto is worth the effort!

The volcano symbol of the city of Naples, is still active, its last eruption dates back to 79 years ago.

An exciting walk in the heart of nature

Boscariello cave. Challenging, but not impossible, the gathering brought a cheerful snake of Bikers up, through trees and bushes, along the slopes of Monte Sant'Angelo, to the large cave (142 meters high, surveyed by CAI in the 1970s) The cave has an uncontaminated and primordial aspect, with a large and deep room (sixty-three meters of planimetric development and thirty-one of depth). The beautiful panorama you can enjoy ranges from Vesuvius to Capri and embraces the whole territory https://www.sciscianonotizie.it/grotta-del-boscariello-alla-ricerca-del-tesoro-del-brigante-in-centinaia-alla-passeggiata-creaviva/

A huge 60-meter-long cave that climbs up to huddle on the bottom with a drop of 31 meters. The floor is covered with material from the collapses, in the center of the main room there is a large chasm that brings light into the cave.

The clearing commemorates the homonymous financier murdered by poachers in 1995. From this small clearing created between gorse and conifers, the plaque dedicated to the memory of Priscus marks the point of separation between the two paths 1 and 2.

Great view of the "Hell's valley".
