The complex, with its entrance on Via della Cava, lies beneath Orvieto's oldest neighborhood. Divided into nine underground areas, it is rich in Etruscan, medieval, and Renaissance finds, brought to light only recently after nearly four centuries of abandonment. The tour isn't very long (about 30 minutes if you read each description carefully), but it's absolutely worth it, especially for the price of just 4 euros.

It takes about 20 minutes of walking along path no. 1 to reach it, but it's worth it. Of course. Because the "Balcony of Lovers" is there, in front of the first jump of the waterfall; or rather, "inside" the imposing jet of water, so much so that you need a raincoat to stand there. It is a small terrace located at the end of the tunnel of the same name (the "Tunnel of Lovers"), set in the travertine rock a few centimeters from the waterfall: just stretch out an arm to "test" the waters of the Velino river in free fall. Stuff for strong hearts. You absolutely need a poncho during the winter month.

At this point in the park on the southern slopes or on the southern rock faces is the closed access to the underground caves in the tuff under the old town of Orvieto. For the guided tours you have to register and buy tickets at the tourist office opposite the cathedral! The visit is definitely worth it!

You should definitely invest the €3.50 ticket for visiting the 'Balcony at the Waterfall' (accessible only on foot) when buying the ticket. A rain poncho costs 1€. Both are essential in my opinion. A guide explains interesting facts about the waterfall in Italian or a short version in English. You can find out when the river is full on the internet or at the park ticket offices. I would recommend entering the park early enough to really see everything. At least 6 hiking trails (and over 1000 steps ⬆️⬇️) make the day an experience. The vantage point in the valley is accessible and managed for people with disabilities. By the way, the fee for the parking lot is €5 per day, which I think is appropriate for this highlight.

Grotta Bella, is a natural cavity located a short distance from the small village of Santa Restituta and about 12 km from Avigliano Umbro (TR). The cave, located in a foothill area within a wooded area, opens onto the slopes of Mount L’Aiola which is the easternmost offshoot of the Amerini Mountains. The irregularly circular cavity has a larger diameter of about 40 meters and a height, at the highest point, of about 10 meters; behind the main entrance hall there are a series of side tunnels rich in stalactite and stalagmite concretions. Of great archaeological interest, today it cannot be visited and is closed with a fence and a fortified gate from which, however, the entrance to the cave can be seen.

One of the few saints who is also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in the German-speaking world as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died as early as 1226. In his youth, the son of wealthy parents, he was more of a bon vivant, but later he turned to Christ. In the half-ruined little church of San Damiano, on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, urging him to “rebuild his church”. At first he took this request literally and restored the church building, later he came to realize that this is primarily about the church as the community of believers. Francis became a role model for many people, they joined him and the "Order of the Friars Minor" (Ordo Fratrum Minorum) of Francis of Assisi came into being. Today in the broad Franciscan religious family there are three male branches: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; and two females: the Franciscans and the Poor Clares. In addition, there is the "Third" or "Secular" order, which women and men who do not take the classic vows of the order (poverty, chastity and obedience) and continue to live in their family and their profession can join.

The Umbrian-Etruscan Necropolis of Vallone San Lorenzo is located between Montecchio and Baschi in the Tiber River Park, along the slopes descending towards the San Lorenzo stream, a small tributary of the river. It is one of the largest pre-Roman necropolises discovered in Umbria so far, which testifies to the existence of a thriving center, not yet identified, in the immediate vicinity of the Tiber.

For lack of knowledge of the exact name, I only found this information later: The Orvieto tufa graves are dry cavities created by human intervention and are located below the town of Orvieto in southwest Umbria in the province of Terni in Italy. The tufa layer under the city was created around 300,000 years ago by eruptions in the Volsiner Mountains. The more than 1200 tufa graves themselves were created by the excavation activities of the residents over about 3000 years across the entire city. The excavations were only stopped at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The caves have been largely unused since around the 1950s and have only been scientifically processed since the 1970s. Previously, the grottos and tunnels were used to store food, wine and the production of goods as well as the water supply of the city. During the public tours lasting about one to one and a half hours, only a very small part of the grottos and tunnels can be visited, e.g. B. an olive oil mill located in a grotto from the Middle Ages with millstones, the oil press, fireplace, the feed manger for the animals, the water pipes and cisterns.

Is described on the Internet as an underground city with 1,200 caves, tunnels and wells, carved out of the rock 2.5 to 3 millennia ago. You can only visit them with a guided tour (which can be booked at Piazza Duomo 23 for 7 € / person (as of September 2020). According to the tour, there are about 300 grottos, most of which are privately owned and up to 4 floors The grottoes are very impressive, but I had imagined the tour to be much longer and through many passages.
