アックアペンデンテのおすすめMTBライド

The small village of Fighine, completely enclosed within the castle walls, was once a center of great interest given its strategic position between the Chiana and Paglia Valleys. Today, it is a place of extreme tranquility where you can relive the medieval atmosphere.

But what a show it is!😀

Simply amazing! Unexpected and a great subject to photograph.

beautiful views and three castles

Acquapendente is not just a stop on the old Via Francigena. Located in the province of Viterbo between Lazio and Tuscany, it is in fact one of the centers of great tourist interest of Tuscia. Born around the parish church of Santa Vittoria between the 9th and 10th centuries along the Via Francigena, the small village developed quickly and was a place of important passage and crossroads of people and trade. Well worth a visit are the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, in which a stone is stained with blood from the Tomb of Christ, the City Museum, the Flower Museum and the castle of Torre Alfina. Among the most traditional, widespread and renowned economic activities are those of craftsmanship, such as the art of ceramics and terracotta.

Palazzone - S.Casciano and vice versa. Gravel with hard and smooth surface.

From Fighine towards Villalba on the hills that separate the Val d'Orcia from the Val di Chiana. From the summit you can see towards the north-east Montarale, Città della Pieve with Lake Trasimeno behind it and towards the north-west Cetona, a stone's throw from the location, and again to the west Radicofani with Monte Amiata behind it. You arrive from San Casciano or Palazzone passing through Fighine or you come down from Villalba. The surface is hard and smooth and only in the sections where you pass through the woods of the Monte Rufeno estate (Villalba) are there some slightly bumpy passages, but only for short stretches. For a good part of the road borders land where "Chianina" cows graze.

From Fighine towards Villalba on the ridge of the hills that separate the Val d'Orcia from the Valbdi Chiana. From the top you can see Montarale, Città della Pieve with Lake Trasimeno behind it and Cetona to the west, just a stone's throw away, and Radicofani again to the west with Monte Amiata behind it
