チステルニーノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Locorotondo, a little gem

Walking on the “chianche” made shiny by trampling, you enter the dense urban fabric of medieval imprint that has remained almost intact. You can follow the road that leads to Porta Piccola, through the airy Piazza Vittorio Emanuele III with its beautiful Clock Tower. Or you can dive into the authentic atmospheres of the four neighborhoods of “Bère Vécchie”, “Scheledd”, “UPantène”, “L’ìsule”, which with the outermost one, called “u Bùrie”, make up the small maze of streets and open spaces where whitewashed houses alternate with alleys adorned with geraniums, stairways, loggias and arches.

From this observation point you can admire the Adriatic Sea and the Plain of the Ancient Olive Trees.

The Figazzano bridge, dating back to 1910-1915, is located on the cycle path of the Apulian Aqueduct. It is a dirt road about 2 meters wide and about 200 meters long, bordered laterally by walls with iron railings. Crossing it you can enjoy the view of the cultivated fields and typical Trulli below.

Very beautiful little streets, lovingly designed. A highlight.

The path just past the masseria is overgrown and impassable. There are dogs guarding the masseria so best to find a way around it before you get there

The public path that skirts this masseria is overgrown and unpassable. Walk via the masseria or go back and around.

Monte le Fergole is a hill located in the Cisternino area at an altitude of about 350 meters above sea level. It offers a panoramic view of the Valle d'Itria and the trulli and is a place of historical and archaeological interest because ceramic artefacts, tombs and a Byzantine capital have been found there which testify to the presence of ancient human settlements.
