I would say one of the nicest places in the area with the possibility to swim, but the water is very cold!

Departing from the Cagli camper area, we begin along the ancient aqueduct trail and for over 6 km it's all uphill, without a moment's respite, but on perfectly passable and safe trails. At the top of Mount Petrano, 1100m above sea level, the view is spectacular; the village at the summit is uninhabited because it's a summer tourist destination. We returned the same way we came. Total time, including breaks, was approximately 6 hours.

Please note that at the restaurant Al Passante you have to walk through the entrance of their parking lot and then immediately take the indicated walking path up on the right. We walked back and forth because the return along the highway did not seem like a good idea. Beautiful walk with (end of May) many flowering plants.
