amazing authentic trulli along the road but the fences on the fake new cycling path but private are soooo annoying with travel bicycle with panier

Small road, but relatively poor asphalt. Typical landscape with fields and dry stone walls. If the asphalt was better, it would be a highlight.

Gravina di Laterza is an impressive karst gorge located in Puglia, among the largest and most spectacular in Europe, with a length of over 12 km and a depth of over 200 meters. It was formed millions of years ago through the erosion of water in the limestone rocks, creating a unique landscape of steep walls and caves. From a naturalistic point of view, it hosts a rich biodiversity: rare species of flora and fauna find refuge here, including birds of prey such as the Egyptian vulture and the golden eagle. It is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers, ideal for geological explorations and birdwatching.

The Via Ellenica del Cammino Materano is one of the most evocative variants of the route, crossing breathtaking landscapes and historical sites. Passing through the Gravina di Laterza, it offers an extraordinary immersion in wild nature, between deep canyons and imposing rock walls, habitat of birds of prey and protected fauna. This stretch connects the territories of Magna Graecia, rich in history and culture, up to Matera, capital of the Sassi. Ideal for hikers looking for an authentic experience between uncontaminated nature and ancient traditions.

Grotta Croce, located in Gravina di Laterza, is one of the many karst caves in this suggestive canyon in Puglia. Famous for its natural beauty and historical interest, the cave offers spectacular limestone formations. Explored by speleology enthusiasts and hikers, it is part of the Terra delle Gravine Natural Park, an area rich in biodiversity and characterized by deep ravines and hidden caves. Grotta Croce also has archaeological value, with finds that testify to human presence in ancient times.

About six kilometers long, this segment is a fascinating way to connect Gioia del Colle and Noci. It mostly runs on asphalt in good condition and all around there are fields, dry stone walls, farms and woods: a typically Apulian landscape.

Grotta Croce is a natural cavity located in the ravine of Laterza, a deep canyon dug by the river Lato. The cave has a shape resembling a Greek cross and a vault 9 meters high, and is inhabited by many birds, such as kestrels and swifts. It is part of the Lipu Oasis, a protected area for nature conservation
