Val Rosandra
Val Rosandra / Dolina Glinščice
The only river gorge in the karst area southeast of the city, with a waterfall, Roman aqueduct ruins and a hilltop chapel, and a favorite hiking and climbing spot for locals.
The Rosandra River has cut a deep valley through the limestone, and the area is a nature reserve. Starting from the village of Bagnoli, the trail passes Roman aqueduct ruins and a small waterfall, and can take you up to the Chapel of Santa Maria on the hillside. A loop takes about 2 to 4 hours. The gorge's cliffs are one of Italy's most famous climbing training grounds. Admission is free; take bus line 40 or 41 to Bagnoli. Some sections are steep and covered in loose gravel, so wear hiking boots.
