Mulino di Zi' Fiore e Ponte del Mulino
Cusano Mutri (BN)
A mill carved into the rock face, still since the Fifties, reached by an arched bridge once crossed by the Oscan mule track. The water keeps turning a wheel that is no longer there.

Gole di Conca Torta
Cusano Mutri (BN)
A stone's throw from the houses, the Reviola torrent has cut a limestone gullet between little waterfalls and green pools: you go through in a harness, hanging from steel cables, with the water under your feet.

Chiesa di Santa Maria del Castagneto
Cusano Mutri (BN)
Founded at the end of the 7th century amid the chestnut groves, survivor of earthquakes and centuries of neglect: a rural church that seems to grow out of the wood, where silence is part of the furnishing.
