On the trailA cave with a sanctuary built into its mouth, and an abbey down the valley whose cloister is covered in carved symbols nobody has fully explained. The walk links the two along the old paths between the villages.
It is a walking day with a puzzle attached; if you only want the abbey, you can drive to its door and skip the ridge entirely.
Bassiano at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
