Gurne di Francavilla Trail

Highlight • Trail

The ascent is very steep, but there is no particular danger even with children because there is no dependent on the side. However, you should definitely make sure to walk …

Alcantara River Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The remains of the castle are very sparse, but the view is great. The climb begins a little further east. There are several entrances to the river along the easy hiking trail.

Disused railway bridge over the Alcantara River

Highlight • Bridge

The old railway line over the bridge is easy to walk on. However, as it progresses it becomes so overgrown that it is better to choose the road that runs parallel to it.
