Moss-Covered Stone Wall on the Sentiero delle Fate

Highlight • Structure

The drywall can be found along the fairy path; as in other places in Italy it often tells us the story of old settlements, or is a trace of the transhumance practiced here in the past.

June 1, 2025,Sentiero delle fate – Mura nel bosco giro ad anello con partenza da Letino

Beautiful hike starting from the characteristic village of Letino: A real gem.
Apart from the climb from Gallo Matese of about 3 km rather challenging, the rest is a long walk that does not require physical effort.
Requires good physical shape. There are no exposed sections. Definitely recommended
