モンテフォルテチレントのおすすめライド

Magliano Vetere is a stone village nestled in the heart of Cilento, overlooking the Alento Valley and surrounded by chestnut and oak forests. Its quiet streets lead to the Paleontological Museum, which recounts the geological history of the area with fossil finds and ancient evidence of Cilento's fauna. From the village, sweeping views open up over the Calore Gorges and the ridges rising toward Magliano Nuovo.

The Preta Perciata Pass is an ancient mountain pass that connected the Calore Valley with the Alento Valley. In the past, visitors passed through a fascinating tunnel carved into the rock, giving rise to the name "preta perciata," meaning "perforated stone." Today, the pass offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Cilento mountains and the ridges surrounding Magliano Nuovo, which it dominates from above.

Stio is a medieval village nestled in the greenery of Cilento, with stone alleys, small courtyards, and terraces overlooking the Alento Valley. Strolling through its streets, you'll discover the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, ancient rural homes, and glimpses that tell the story of the area's agricultural history. It's the ideal starting point for exploring woods, mills, and nature trails, and for sampling traditional dishes such as ciccimmaretati and the Fagiolo della Regina di Gorga.

The patronage of this shrine, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the town of LORETO. This is one of the large and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with LOURDES in the French Pyrenees and FATIMA in Portugal. Unlike the other two places mentioned, however, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can show something very tangible: Mary's childhood home in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents - not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament - are mentioned in apocryphal traditions: Saint ANNA and Saint JOACHIM are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common memorial day in the calendar of saints is July 26). When the time of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, crusaders probably dismantled the venerated building in Nazareth and brought it to Europe. But this very sober assumption is contradicted by a much more interesting legend: According to it, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house over the Mediterranean.

Beautiful view to admire!

Nice to look at and good for biking

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!
