アックアペンデンテの天然記念物・トップ10

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.

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.

Class view over the lake on the promenade; Access to the port with excursion boats, beach - well... nice promenade for strolling.

Lake Bolsena is located in Lazio, it is the fifth largest lake in Italy and is also the largest lake of volcanic origin in Europe. The main caldera, which has taken on the characteristic elliptical shape typical of lakes of volcanic origin, is set in the mountainous-hilly group of the Volsini Mountains. The formation of Lake Bolsena was very turbulent. The volcanic system of the Volsini, following the eruptions, emptied of magmatic material and ended up collapsing on itself creating a large caldera which over the years was filled with water. it is largely powered by rainwater. The only emissary is the Marta stream which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Two islands emerge within Lake Bolsena: Bisentina Island and Martana Island.
