토르토라 최고의 러닝 경로

From the train station up to the historic center, it's quite a climb, but the effort is worthwhile – even if you're not going to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. Beautiful streets and squares. There are supposed to be 44 churches, but most of them are probably closed.

A 21-meter-high statue has stood atop Monte San Biagio since 1965. It is considered a landmark of Maratea. However, its erection was controversial among local politicians at the time. Originally, an iron cross stood on this spot, commemorating the defense against Napoleon's troops in 1806. It was later replaced by this statue of Jesus, whose face does not bear the typical features of Jesus, as his hair and beard are short. He looks more like an angel—a savior who points with open arms to the Creator in heaven and with both feet firmly planted on the ground, symbolizing the acceptance of sinners.

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.

Unfortunately, the start was quite challenging uphill.

Beautiful 360° panoramas

The old historic center of Maratea is full of charm, lanes and steep stony stairways ground from centuries of use. Now that you are there, continue along the CAI path to the top of the mountain where a Christ worthy of the Burmese Buddhas stands

Fantastic iron bridges, with immense views

The cycle path is very beautiful
