アテナ・ルカーナのおすすめライド

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.

I hope you get a chance to meet Ettore, the volunteer who runs the observatory and currently the only person in the world who knows how to use the telescope inside. Spending a night here on an observing day must be fantastic.

Truly a godsend for us cyclists to take a break. Surrounded by greenery, sheltered from the sun and at 900 m above sea level. Truly the best!

Uninhabited town at the foot of the new town

Old Roscigno, the UNESCO heritage museum town https://www.ecoturismocampania.it/roscigno-vecchia-paese-museo-patrimonio-unesco-parco-del-cilento/

At the top of the Valico degli Alburni there is the astronomical observatory of Casone Aresta. Here the wood opens up to make room for a large plateau.

In 1902 due to the presence of various landslides, the transfer of the inhabitants of Roscigno to the current location of the town, Roscigno nuova, was ordered. Old Roscigno therefore remains uninhabited, and is today a destination for travelers and tourists.

Karst sinkhole located in the territory of Petina, it is one of the many naturalistic attractions of the Alburni Mountains, in the National Park. The cave is more than 200 meters deep and it is necessary to have adequate speleological equipment. There is a picnic area outside.
