Itinerary description

One of the nicest trips around. Coming from Rome, one passes Nepi, after which it is another 4 km to very comfortable parking. After approx. 2 km, the trail dips into a thick forest, and follows a small creek, the Rio Maggiore, which is being followed in its very scenic valley. The creek has to be crossed several times over adventurous "bridges", oftentimes just wading through water or a log.
The trail abounds with even pre-etruskan gravesites, oftentimes in a spectacular setting. Great views on the majestic "Monte Soratte", greating from approx. 10 km distance.

This whole road was, during etruskan times, carved out of the rock. It even features, at times, a pedestrian walkway.

    Second time we have followed this trail, just a great trail that's mostly in the shade. Not the best for the hottest days but if it's sunny you can find some shade.

    Sfortunatamente un paio di sentieri sono diventati impraticabili (alberi caduti o vegetazione troppo cresciuta, campi arati su cui è maleducato camminare), perciò abbiamo dovuto deviare…
    Comunque è interessante esplorare le rovine delle catacombe e superare il fiumiciattolo con vari ponticelli e funi.
