Rigorous walking tours for people with walking experience. In past times magicians and riders wandered to “The Gola dell’Infernaccio” (the Gorge of Hell) which they reached after exhausting journeys from all over Europe, with the hope to get advise from the Sibylle oracle. "Here stay the devils, and they give answer to the ones that question them” wrote Leandro Alberti (1557). Goethe solved the mystery in the 4th act of Faust: "The forces of these mountains are strong; here nature works freely with excessive power; it is the stupidity of the priests condemning that as witchcraft”. Today these mountains offer just an occasion to meditate upon the greatness of Nature.
