5 places
Sacred artConvento di San Francesco a Folloni
Montella (AV)
In the woods of Montella they tell of a sack of bread that appeared on the snow without footprints: the relic, dated to the thirteenth century, is still kept in the convent.
- Nature & hiking
Grotta del Caprone
Montella (AV)
The name says what the shepherds believed: that in there lived the devil with his horns. It is one of the karst cavities of the Terminio, and among the most striking.
- In the water & diving
Cascate del Troncone e della Scorzella
Montella (AV)
Waterfalls hidden in the green of the Terminio, where the stream comes down in steps and the light struggles through the beeches.
- Hiking
Piano di Verteglia
Montella (AV)
A plateau at 1,230 metres ringed by beech forest, where you snowshoe in winter and the herds graze in summer: a piece of the Apennines that looks like Norway, an hour from Naples.
Sacred artSantuario del Santissimo Salvatore (Montella)
Montella (AV)
A sanctuary on a knoll that watches over the whole Calore valley: you climb up on foot, and the effort is part of the prayer.
