Hiking

The Vitozza rock complex is a large network of over two hundred caves dug into the tuff along an isolated rocky ridge, immersed in dense woods. This cliff has hosted communities since protohistory, evidenced by the first houses, cisterns for collecting rainwater, wells and rudimentary canalization systems. Along this stretch there are easily over 35 caves, an impressive testimony to the past.
