노세라 움브라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Along the trail there are "pools" or wells formed naturally by erosion of the small waterfalls above. To protect them, bathing is prohibited... although it is very inviting I must say. Easy and flat trail. Well maintained place.

Characteristic medieval site that, perched on a rocky spur, almost seems to throw itself into the void. This hermitage stands on the ruins of an ancient tower that had the sole but very important task of protecting the castle of the town of Esanatoglia. The cult of St. Cataldo, a saint of Irish origin, spread throughout the Macerata area around the year 1000 but only in 1616 did the population of Esanatoglia ask to proclaim him patron saint of the town. Legend has it that Cataldo stopped the dangerous fall of an enormous boulder that was at risk of rolling down to the valley with just the imposition of a hand.

Simple and pleasant path that allows you to walk along the stream/river. There is also a short but relaxing sensory path

The path along the Sant'Angelo stream, not far from Pieve Torina, winds through woods and meadows following the course of the stream, with small waterfalls and suggestive views of the surrounding mountains.

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.
