The VF crosses a river here without a bridge. It's only about 50 cm deep, though. The ground is rocky and invisible. Hiking poles are highly recommended. Then it's fine.

Beautiful nature reserve along the Magna Via Francigena. I had problems crossing the river. Hiking poles are an advantage.

Aragona is not the prettiest village on the Magna Via but it is comparatively large and there are several restaurants and bars to stop at. Almost everyone goes to "la botte del Pellegrino" where there is a special menu for hikers.

Aragon is especially famous for the phenomenon of the Macalube, the cold mud volcanoes. It is a geological phenomenon linked to the presence of methane in the soil, which makes the panorama very suggestive and unique. Aragon is also a good refreshment point, in case of need.

The Gramitto mine is a historic mining area now converted into a park. From the Magna Via Francigena, which crosses it, it is possible to observe the former sulfur mine, the old mines and the Comitini astronomical observatory. A truly panoramic and evocative point to cross on foot.

The archaeological area of Petra of Calathansuderj hides a unique stronghold, testimony to the Byzantine-Arab-Norman influence, with an imposing structure 30 meters high and 40 meters wide, full of tunnels dug for the defense and control of the roads communication. The discovery of numerous ceramic finds, dated between the 2nd and 14th centuries AD, reveals the strategic importance of this site through the centuries.
