스펠로‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Franziskusweg에 있는 좋은 휴식처입니다. 대피소에서 하룻밤을 묵을 수도 있습니다. 이 샘물은 공식적으로 식수로 지정되어 있지 않으며, 오히려 마시는 것이 금지되어 있지만, 저는 아직 괜찮습니다. 늦은 저녁에 이 글을 쓰고 있는데, 오늘 점심때 약 1.5리터의 물을 마셨습니다.

동명의 정상에 자리한 Croce di Sasso Piano라고 불리는 이 신성한 작은 기념물 앞에서, 이곳에 머무르는 이들에게 아시시의 성 프란치스코에 대한 짧은 성찰을 제공하고 싶습니다: + „그리고 우리는 당신께 [하느님 아버지] 감사드립니다, ... 당신의 십자가와 피와 죽음을 통해, 포로였던 우리를 구원하고자 하셨기 때문입니다.“ (NbR XXIII, 3)

There is an old well here with a nymph in it. Unfortunately the water is not drinkable

The Menotre Waterfall Parking offers two route options: park at Pale for a downhill trail on the way there and uphill on the way back, or at Belfiore to tackle the uphill trail on the way there and enjoy the downhill trail on the way back.

The Abbadessa Caves in Pale are an interesting karst phenomenon, created mainly by the waters of the Menotre River. These can be found in the underground system created by the waters of the Menotre River, whose precipitation in the underground caves has led to the numerous stalactites and stalagmites. Please note that the caves can currently only be visited on Saturdays and Sundays under expert guidance. Duration approx. 30 minutes, price 6 euros (as of 2024).

Pale stands on a travertine counter shaped by the calcium-rich waters of the Menotre River. This mineral, depositing over millennia, has given rise to spectacular caves, including the Abbadessa Caves, so called since the 17th century. There are other caves in the area, many of them partially unexplored; the Sasso di Pale and its underground treasures are a privileged destination for speleology enthusiasts.

summit of Mount Subasio. 360° panoramic view

The mountain Monte Subasio, the local mountain of Assisi, is about 1,290 meters high and is an ancient and mystical mountain. Since early Christian times, its caves have been home to many ascetics and hermits, and its forests have been crossed by monks who settled there over time. Of course, among these monks was Saint Francis. The mountain has a “rounded top”, a huge summit plateau and this offers a breathtaking panoramic view that is second to none. During our hike in October 2023, we were even able to see wild horses in the wild up there.
