Hike along a magnificent route. Just avoid going to point 8: there is little point in reaching this slab. It is better to climb from point 7 to Monte Tiscali, where you will enjoy a 360-degree panorama.

I recommend returning via the path that goes around the top of the hill where the ghost village of Tiscali is located, which offers beautiful views of the other valley

That's a shame. I hope you made it to the end of the walk. The gpx track is sometimes useful.

At the very start of the 481, we got lost going left instead of straight ahead.

Not nice guards! I hope you made it as far as the fault. For future hikers, don't forget that you can make a loop by continuing downhill past the fault.

A pleasant hike in the hinterland with beautiful views.
As indicated, bring closed shoes and water.
IMPORTANT: Payment for entry to the village is IN CASH only, so we missed out on this information and were unable to visit.

Well done, because if it's hot the climbs must be exhausting. Did you go as far as the fault and the viewpoint over the north valley?

Hiking on 19/06/24 in stifling heat (35 degrees and high humidity). In these conditions, it's vital to drink enough water (at least 2 litres per person).
Pleasant walk, nice hidden village, beautiful scenery.
Correct footwear required, moderate difficulty, varied scenery.
The return to the car park, with its uphill false flat, is not to be underestimated... especially in the heat!

As I wrote, you have to pay to park and visit the site. And I also wrote that there was no water. You confirm that there has been no change. I hope you went as far as the fault, if not you can get there via the other valley, as indicated in the information sheet, it's nice too. All the best.

Not very difficult, as long as you don't forget your water. There are no water points on the route. Be careful, it's not very difficult to find your way around, but there is a serious climb at the start, followed by a flat walk, followed by another climb to finish on a plateau! So for older people like me (70), take it easy. The tour of the village is quick but interesting and doesn't last long. Which means that if you come back down immediately afterwards (as we did), you'll have made a 4-hour effort. Italian fashion dictates: one ticket to pay for the car park and a second ticket to pay for at the top of the cliff! A friendly Italian waits for you and asks for €5 again.
