Catacombs carved into the rock. Graves. The path leading there has been rebuilt.

Some recognize the face of a giant with a beard.

Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention, documented as early as pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a design, a watercourse – natural or artificial – could easily replace human or animal muscle power, for example, to grind grain into corn. There are essentially two drive variants for watermills: Either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades. This design utilizes natural gravity to achieve greater efficiency.

A deep cave. The entrance is a bit hidden. Along the way there is a sign "Grotta dei rovi". Climb straight up the mountain here. The cave is in the middle of the thorns. The entrance is on the left where a small staircase leads through the thorns. Helmet and headlamp recommended.

A very beautiful gravesite, little known. The path was recently prepared but is a bit overgrown.

The grotto is not that spectacular from the outside but the view is beautiful!

Entrance fee 5€. There is also an audio guide in different languages

The deeper you go into the gorge, the more difficult the paths become. At the gorge entrance, sneakers are also sufficient; if you hike further, you will need hiking shoes.
