Even if you don't go in the best moment (end of June-beginning of July, it depends) the Piana di Castelluccio worth a visit! . The atmosphere is enchanting.

Pozzo della Cava is more than just a well... ...it's one of the highlights of a historical and archaeological tour of Orvieto...it's a place where the past and the present combine with respect for twenty-seven centuries of tradition...it's an invitation to discover Etruscans, Middle Ages and Renaissance, because Orvieto is not only the Cathedral...it's a fascinating underground itinerary located in the heart of Orvieto, through caves full of recently discovered archaeological finds...it's an unusual way of discovering the history the city known as Urbs Vetus and the customs of its people...it's an original opportunity to retake possession of a disinterred heritage

We had already done the Underground Orvieta tour but found this one very interesting as well. Visitors here are allowed to wander at their own pace; there are clear detailed descriptions all along the way. The well has obviously been well studied with seemingly accurate explanations of the workings of the Etruscan inhabitants. The depth of the excavation is surprising. One hour is probably adequate but there is also a well-stocked book and gift shop to explore.

This is a must see if in the Umbria region. It is a marvel of Roman engineering and totally beautiful. The falls are visible all the time but if you want the best experience, check the opening time and get there about 15 minutes before. As the sirens blast out to warn you of the impending water rush, you expect a flood of water, but it’s more subtle. By the time it’s fully open you are completely soaked before you know it and so a poncho for 1euro at the ticket office is a must. There are several walks, and I recommend even the least active visitor should go at least part of the way. It’s so pretty and you really get to experience it from all angles, but be warned you do and will, get wet.

The day started off with some rain but it soon lifted and we had a most beautiful experience walking in the woods. we started from the entrance gate in the wall in front of the Basilica. The volunteers from FAI were very welcoming and helpful in explaining the trails. The walk down to the visitor centre is charming though after the rains it can be somewhat slippery so good shows and a steady hand are needed. The visitor centre next to the chapel of Santa Croce is well organized and provides details of the recovery and restoration works. From there we walked to the Mill and stream and then to the Land art installation by Pistoletto known as Il Terzo Paradiso. This expanse of land with three circles outlined by olive trees provides a quasi ethereal experience. Initially we intended to retrace our steps to the Basilica but instead found a little pathway that took us up the opposite hillside and back to Assisi from Porta Perlici. All in all a great walk and immersion in the woods surrounding Assisi.
10. Parco del Monte Subasio
