After the narrow alleys and steps through the old town, the climb to the rocks is worthwhile. Even in rainy weather, the rocks are easily accessible via iron stairs. In heavy rain, every small alley becomes a rushing stream.

The Nepalese bridge connects the two starting points of the Salemm and Marcirosa via ferrata, allowing you to reach Antro delle Streghe or the plateau. The bridge is 72 meters long, the maximum height from the ground is from 35 to 650 meters above sea level.

Steep stairs, narrow streets, some chapels and churches are waiting to be explored. There are beautiful views from the Piazza Emilio Caizzo of the village and the surrounding countryside.
