between Lapio and Taurasi, near the Principe bridge, a majestic iron railway bridge surrounded by greenery, there is this bridge that separates the descent from Taurasi (2km) from the climb to Lapio (about 5km), surrounded by woods and with a bumpy road surface. A somewhat wild but beautiful route.
