Trail Reviews

Dino D'Auria
August 9, 2024, Sant'Antonio Abate, Castello di Lettere, Grotta del Caprile (Grotta di Santa Maria della Speranza)

I am re-proposing a tour already done some time ago but in a different season. This is a tour for hikers. It starts from a public and free parking lot, located near the natural park. I took an old mule track at km 0.960. Due to some landslides and vegetative growth, the initial part of the path that I knew is now lost. I went by eye but I promise to return and mark the path. This stretch of mule track ends inside the aqueduct of the municipality of Lettere, in the immediate vicinity of the cemetery. Here you will find a closed gate that can be easily climbed over. The sign on the gate prohibits entry and not exit. Once past the gate in the immediate vicinity you need to take the path of the castle of Lettere CAI 346. Before taking the path you could also visit the medieval castle. If open, with a small contribution it is possible to visit it. From here on the path is simple with some exposed points. Near Chianiello there are several signs. The direction to take is that of Monte Cerreto. From this point on I found some difficulty in the signage. I therefore had to use the support of the track. I highlight the presence of thick vegetation in some sections near the cave. I suggest always carrying pruning shears with you. Since my last excursion I found this place very neglected. For the return I took the same path, except for the final stretch where I preferred to take the road and lengthen the tour a bit.
