アッフィーレのおすすめツーリングルート

A short detour to take on foot to admire a beautiful waterfall on the Aniene River

The Cammino di San Benedetto, leaving the monastery of Santa Scolastica in Subiaco, runs along the right side of the Aniene in a fascinating and unspoiled gorge.

The complex of the Monastery of San Benedetto arose on the site of the Sacro Speco, the cave in which the Saint had lived in penance and contemplation (6th century). Above the cave, at the end of the (12th century), the Lower Church was built with the original nucleus of the Monastery; above that, towards the middle of the (14th century), the Upper Church was added.

Magnificent area for traveling by bike but also for a single outing. Impressive nature, thanks to the presence of rivers. Nature expresses all its beauty. The waterfalls are music to the ears of those who know how to enjoy nature, where the flat water creates beaches to be experienced in complete relaxation.

Cycling along the path of San Benedetto, it is worth a very short detour of just over a hundred meters to enjoy the spectacle of this beautiful waterfall.

These are the ruins of Nero's villa, on the road that goes from Subiaco towards the Benedictine monasteries.

Beautiful streets surrounded by greenery with little traffic.
