It is a masterpiece of early twentieth-century railway engineering. The Castelluccio Superiore Helical Tunnel, 485.59 meters long, is one of the very few spiral tunnels in Italy. Built between 1915 and 1931 on the historic Lagonegro–Spezzano Albanese line of the Ferrovie Calabro Lucane (FCL), it represents an extraordinary example of mountain railway engineering. Bring lights and a jacket to travel through it.

The Iron Bridge of the old Lauria railway, located near the Lauria Alta cemetery, owes its name to its proximity to this site. This metal bridge is a historical reminder of the passage of the Lagonegro-Spezzano Albanese railway, which bypassed the town of Lauria Alta with impressive engineering structures, such as viaducts and tunnels. Today, the bridge is part of the cycle/pedestrian path that follows the old railway line, representing a strong link between the local industrial heritage and the surrounding natural landscape, offering a fascinating perspective on the history and memory of the area.

The old Lauria station is part of the historic Lagonegro-Spezzano Albanese narrow-gauge line, inaugurated in sections between 1915 and 1931 and operating until the 1970s. This branch of the railway crossed the picturesque landscapes of southwestern Basilicata, connecting small villages and navigating challenging terrain with rack railway sections and numerous viaducts.

Only ride slowly and with a good bicycle light, as there is no lighting at all as of April 2025. The road surface is also partially dirty. It's not really suitable for racing bikes.

The route is beautifully laid out, but you should be careful of dirt on the road, especially on the downhill sections. When I rode it in April, there was an enormous amount of wood, branches, and leaves on the road, making driving at normal speed difficult, even dangerous.

One of the few illuminated tunnels along the Lagonegro-Rotonda cycle path and is located in the municipality of Lauria, with a splendid view from the adjacent iron bridge.

Fantastic iron bridges, with immense views
