Lake Laceno is a beautiful place in Irpinia, a stage of the Giro d'Italia also arrived last May.

From Calabritto along the Madonna del Fiume path you can make a small detour and reach the Bard'natore waterfall with its 5 jumps. The journey, 100-150m, is rather impervious and care must be taken. Hiking clothing and sturdy shoes are required. https://infoirpinia.it/santuario-della-madonna-del-fiume-calabritto-percorso-trekking/

To reach it, trekking clothing and sturdy shoes are recommended.

The rock church of the Madonna del Fiume of Calabritto is located in Ponticchio, a few steps from the Bard'natore waterfall. Located inside a karst cave, which can be accessed along a nature trail, this suggestive rock church dates back to the 17th century. According to tradition, its construction would follow the episode in which a chapel, located on the bank of the Meria torrent, was overwhelmed due to the overflowing of the watercourse caused, in turn, by the conspicuous rains which affected the town for several days. The cataclysmic event, however, left intact a depiction of the Virgin Mary painted on the wall, which is why the Church was erected which, still today, is a pilgrimage destination for many faithful and excursionists. Another belief of pagan origin is also linked to the Church of the Madonna del Fiume in Calabritto: if a woman expecting a child drinks the water that drips from a particular breast-shaped stalactite, she will be assured of plenty of milk. This legend, corroborated by the fact that the Madonna del Fiume is the protector of pregnant women, means that, every year, on the occasion of Monday in Albis, the expectant Calabrian women go to the rock church, as a sign of devotion to the Virgin and auspicious for the health and growth of their children. Emblem, perhaps unique in Irpinia, of the perfect symbiosis between faith and nature, the rock church of the Madonna del Fiume in Calabritto is a stop not to be missed for those who love to spend moments of profound reflection and contemplation. https://infoirpinia.it/santuario-della-madonna-del-fiume-calabritto-percorso-trekking/
