ポンテコルヴォの絶景の山頂・トップ6

It is the destination of the evocative Cammino di San Benedetto which leads from his hometown of Norcia to the abbey of Montecassino which houses his tomb, passing through Subiaco where the Saint lived for a long time and where the monastery of Santa Scolastica and that of the Sacro Speco are located.

To climb towards Cima Pantani from Contrada Taverna, below Campodimele, take Via Pozzo Largo and follow a pleasant little road immersed in the peace of nature until you enter a small wood. The road is narrow but well paved. I recommend it as a variant to the climb, for the Cima, from Fondi. Once you get there, you can continue towards Lenola and then quickly descend towards Fondi

Climb that requires training, about 9km at 5/6% average gradient, but the view you see during the climb is worth the effort. Unfortunately they do not allow bikes in and currently there are no parking spaces for bikes, but you can take some photos.

Montecassino Abbey

The Abbey of Montecassino, founded by San Benedetto da Norcia in 529 AD, is one of the oldest monasteries in Italy and the cradle of Western monasticism. Located in Cassino, between Rome and Naples, it was a spiritual and cultural center of great importance in the Middle Ages. Destroyed in 1944 during the battle of Monte Cassino, it was then faithfully rebuilt according to the original plans.

The Abbey of Montecassino, founded by San Benedetto da Norcia in 529 AD. C., is the oldest monastery in Italy together with the monastery of Santa Scolastica. The abbey is one of the most important places of worship in Lazio and Italy and can be defined as the cradle of Western monasticism.
