ヴァッレコルサのおすすめMTBライド

Worsened, many rocks and landslides. Some sections are risky to cover on foot. I do not recommend mountain biking, suggestive panorama.

Route made in July 2022. Leaving aside the view which is remarkable, everything is pedaled. Of course, attention must be paid both uphill and especially downhill. Don't forget the repair kit, rocks cut very easily.

Fresh water, very useful in the summer

I walked this stretch of the path about a month ago, and I must say that, compared to a year ago, it is much more passable, despite the fact that you have to be very careful. Apart from that, the view is simply impressive.

The ruins of the fortified medieval village of Acquaviva rise on a peak of the ridge of the Ausoni Mountains. What remains of that village, perched on a suggestive hill at 617 meters between the mountains of Fondi and Vallecorsa, are the walls, the ramparts, the water cisterns and the remains of material necessary for the agricultural life of the population; among these there are still some stone wheels for the grinding of the olives.

Ruins of the previous city of Vallecorsa

On the top of the mountain, between Fondi, Lenola and Vallecorsa are the remains of the ancient fortified settlement of Acquaviva, dating back to the 11th century AD, definitively abandoned in the 16th century after the sack by brigands led by Marco Sciapa. A circular path leads to the remains of the ancient fortified settlement. Border between the Papal State and the Bourbon Kingdom, as evidenced by the characteristic stone columns (cippi) present on this site.

Cippo No. 49, one of 700 places in the 19th century along the border between the ancient Papal State and the Kingdom of Naples.
