Vulci, the Devil's Bridge and the Canyon
-
The castle of Vulci is incredibly old: 900 years!
The fact that it arrived to us in almost perfect condition is really a miracle.
Around the castle there is some water and this is some kind of weird because... -
...Because the castle is on top of a canyon!
The castle was built in the middle-age to defend the "Devil's Bridge": a 70 metres high bridge made by the Romans. -
Vulci castle from the Devil's Bridge.
-
In the castle entrance is full of nests.
-
In the castle there is a very nice and well organised little museum.
-
Items are shown in their context.
-
We want to reach the bottom of the canyon, but from the Devil's Bridge side it looks to dangerous.
Conillo: Oh, come on, you can do it! -
We go back to the modern bridge and...
-
...and here we are!
-
Under the Devil's Bridge: behind Alessio is the almost impossible descent we tried at first.
Conillo: Don't you see? It's so easy! -
Canyon of Vulci
-
Conillo: As usual it is up to me to carry the backpack!
-
Conillo: What a nice photo!
-
Getting closer to one of the most fascinating spots of this canyon.
-
Amazing, isn't it?
-
Water dropping from limestone formations.
-
So beautiful!
-
A natural bridge!
Conillo: I love adventure! -
The bottom is basaltic rock, the walls are tuff rock, then the water creates limestone concretions: a geologic orgy!
-
The water is very clean and very warm.
-
The canyon widen: we are arriving at...
-
...At the little Pellicone lake!
-
Down-climbing and jumping in the water, then you can swim to...
-
...to a nice beach at the end of the lake.
-
Conillo rises his ears in the wind.
Conillo: Oh yes! -
Cristina flirting with Conillo. Fortunately Alessio is not jealous, so the two don't have to fight in a duel.
-
Going back we have to climb up to avoid the waterfall.
-
Going back into the canyon
-
Along the way back
-
Conillo: Waiting in ambush!
-
On the way back
-
Panorama
-
Vulci from the bottom
-
We have still some time, so I take my friends to visit this amazing hermitage.
-
Hermitage of Poggio Conte
-
It is a holy place, so let's pretend they are flowers!! ;-)
