サンタンジェロAファサネッラのおすすめツーリングルート

Starting point for climbing Monte Puglie. Parking for 2-3 cars is available. Monte Puglie (sometimes called Cocuzzo delle Puglie) is a peak approximately 1,465-1,475 meters high located in Campania, within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. Known for its wild nature and expansive views, it can be reached via challenging hiking trails, often starting from Passo della Sentinella (San Rufo) or San Paolo di Teggiano, passing through places such as Sella del Corticato and the Bosco Vetusto del Cozzo del Rosieddo. Here are the main details about Monte Puglie: Location and Characteristics: It is located in the province of Salerno. The relief features elongated ridges and, in some areas, beech forests. Hiking: The trails are generally considered difficult or for experts, with steep and sometimes exposed sections. A common route is the ring that touches the Cozzo del Rosieddo (1427 m) and Monte Puglie.

Petina is perhaps one of the most mountainous villages in Campania. It sits directly on the slopes of the Alburni Mountains, completely surrounded by centuries-old chestnut groves. The village is very small and offers a grocery store, almost always open and well-stocked, a restaurant renowned for its local dishes, and a bar with tables in a beautiful courtyard.

The Castelcivita Caves are a true natural wonder. The system is still active and continues to form stalactites and stalagmites. To visit, I recommend checking the website, as they only open at certain times of the day. It's definitely worth it!

On the silent path

One of the many medieval stone bridges found in this area (see the one in Magliano Vetere or the one in Sant'Angelo a Fasanella)

Absolutely worth a visit, a town that has remained authentic and is unfortunately depopulating, but which has so much to offer.

A climb immersed in the shade of the woods, with several steep sections but also several stretches that allow you to catch your breath.

I was fortunate enough to meet Francesco from the Pro Loco tourist office (find the number outside the church, or ask in town), who guided us for about an hour to discover this sacred cave. An unexpected and truly worthwhile experience with several surprises, absolutely worth it.
