ラテラの天然記念物・トップ14

Via Cava di San Roccoは、この地域で最も印象的なエトルリア時代の通路の1つです。この小道は完全に凝灰岩に掘られており、高さ20メートルに達する垂直な壁には、シダや苔の豊かな植生が生い茂っています。 このルートは、レンテ川の谷と上部の高原を結んでいます。登り道に沿って、古代の水路システムや岩に刻まれた階段があります。上端に到達すると、ソラーノの町とオルシーニ要塞の最も象徴的な景色を眺めることができるサン・ロッコ展望エリアに到着します。壁の涼しい微気候のため、地面は湿っていて滑りやすい場合があります。

The Via Cava di San Rocco goes up the opposite side of Sorano, skirting the remains of the church of San Rocco, a religious building in Romanesque style now reduced to ruins that maintain sections of the original wall structures. Behind these remains extends a vast Etruscan necropolis with tombs dug into the tuff. The Vie Cave, dug by the Etruscans about 3000 years ago in the tuff, are still shrouded in mystery regarding the technique used to sculpt the rock so precisely and vertically. This street represents the most important of the Vie Cave around Sorano, as it guided the Etruscans to their necropolis. Incredibly, for over six centuries, from the Middle Ages until 1940, it was the only road that connected the city of Sorano to Sovana. Every horse, cart and traveler had no choice but to travel this steep, damp road between its high walls.

Lake with several paths all around, perfect for Gravel.

Volcanic lake of Community importance (SCI).

This exciting spot is not easy to find despite the signs and it is definitely worth looking a little further. After the last small sign, a narrow, steep branch leads to a small plateau with a thick wall and two rocky bulges. If you continue, you will discover the remains of old stairs and two collapsed caves. But the stairs bend and lead to the next plateau. Here you can discover some holes in the ground that belong to chimneys and cave openings below us. If you go slightly down to the right you will reach the cave with a fireplace that is open to the slope. If you continue straight ahead and take a little scramble down to the left, you will discover two more chambers.

Lake Mezzano is a small lake of volcanic origin in Tuscia. Located in Upper Lazio, almost on the border with Tuscany, Lake Mezzano is a pearl of serenity immersed in the Valentano area. Its particularity lies in the fact that it is accessible only through dirt roads and pristine, creating an experience of authenticity and discovery.

If you want to get a glimpse of the chocolate side of Pitigliano on foot, you have to walk through the Cava di Madona to the other side of the valley. The cava itself is a special experience. When wet, the stone is sometimes quite slippery. Appropriate footwear is then recommended.
