그로테 디 카스트로‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪17‬개의 천연기념물

Via Cava di San Rocco는 이 지역에서 가장 인상적인 에트루리아 경로 중 하나입니다. 이 길은 완전히 응회암에 새겨져 있으며, 수직 벽은 최대 20미터 높이에 달하고 양치류와 이끼로 무성한 식물로 덮여 있습니다. 이 경로는 Lente 강 계곡을 위쪽 고원과 연결합니다. 등반을 따라 고대 물 수집 시스템과 바위에 새겨진 계단을 만날 수 있습니다. 위쪽 끝에 도달하면 Sorano 마을과 Orsini 요새의 가장 상징적인 전망을 즐길 수 있는 San Rocco 전망 구역에 도착합니다. 벽의 서늘한 미기후로 인해 바닥이 습하고 미끄러울 수 있습니다.

The Via Cava di San Rocco goes up the opposite side of Sorano, skirting the remains of the church of San Rocco, a religious building in Romanesque style now reduced to ruins that maintain sections of the original wall structures. Behind these remains extends a vast Etruscan necropolis with tombs dug into the tuff. The Vie Cave, dug by the Etruscans about 3000 years ago in the tuff, are still shrouded in mystery regarding the technique used to sculpt the rock so precisely and vertically. This street represents the most important of the Vie Cave around Sorano, as it guided the Etruscans to their necropolis. Incredibly, for over six centuries, from the Middle Ages until 1940, it was the only road that connected the city of Sorano to Sovana. Every horse, cart and traveler had no choice but to travel this steep, damp road between its high walls.

Lake with several paths all around, perfect for Gravel.

Volcanic lake of Community importance (SCI).

This exciting spot is not easy to find despite the signs and it is definitely worth looking a little further. After the last small sign, a narrow, steep branch leads to a small plateau with a thick wall and two rocky bulges. If you continue, you will discover the remains of old stairs and two collapsed caves. But the stairs bend and lead to the next plateau. Here you can discover some holes in the ground that belong to chimneys and cave openings below us. If you go slightly down to the right you will reach the cave with a fireplace that is open to the slope. If you continue straight ahead and take a little scramble down to the left, you will discover two more chambers.

Lake Mezzano is a small lake of volcanic origin in Tuscia. Located in Upper Lazio, almost on the border with Tuscany, Lake Mezzano is a pearl of serenity immersed in the Valentano area. Its particularity lies in the fact that it is accessible only through dirt roads and pristine, creating an experience of authenticity and discovery.

Class view over the lake on the promenade; Access to the port with excursion boats, beach - well... nice promenade for strolling.
