On the trailCivita stands on a spur of tufa above a valley of clay ridges that keep eroding out from under it. Everybody photographs the town from the road. This walk is spent down in the valley instead, on the clay itself.
A long, steep day on soft clay, and rain calls it off — if it is Civita itself you want, the footbridge into the town is a visit on its own.
Civita di Bagnoregio at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.

See the dayOne thing we have not resolved: The operator publishes one page per departure rather than a calendar, so we cannot tell you how often this runs or what it costs today — ask them for the next date and the price. They do say that no annual membership card is needed.
