Nice stretch along the river but be careful because it is on private property.

Small ford that can be cycled, even with floods it shouldn't be a problem.

Large stone covered with ferns, under the darkness of the thick beech trees, it seems like a prehistoric environment. It is said that it was a hideout for bandits and a legend has it that a treasure is kept inside and that to find it you have to go to the stone at midnight with a full moon and walk around it seven times jumping on one foot.

Poorly maintained but still looks old

The castle is not particularly maintained and cared for but also for this reason it retains a great charm.

The Norman-Swabian Castle of Nicastro, an ancient medieval fortress built by the Byzantines or Normans, dominates the historic district of San Teodoro in Lamezia Terme. Despite the damage caused by the earthquake of 1638, the castle retains the traces of four towers, bastions and a wall. Its history is linked to the tragic imprisonment of Henry VII, the rebellious son of Frederick II. Today, it offers a fascinating insight into Calabria's medieval history.
