About
A 55 km cultural walk through Calabria, where Basilian hermit monks once sought solitude. Starting in Roccabernarda, you’ll traverse three stages, climbing 2,157 m through the lush Foresta and quaint Carello, before reaching the historic Caccuri.
The air is filled with the scent of wild rosemary, and the landscapes shift from dense forests to rolling hills. Key waypoints like Petilia Policastro and Acquafredda reveal centuries of local tradition.
Each step is a meditation on history, nature, and the quiet beauty of the Calabrian hills.
