On the trailThe sacred wood of Diana covered these hills before Rome did, and the local archaeology club still walks it. They run several routes, and one of them goes straight through the tunnel the Romans cut to drain Lake Nemi.
The guides work in Italian and the routes are booked by phone, so a call comes before the walk — and the tunnel crossing is not for anyone who dislikes enclosed spaces.
Ariccia at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
