Departure from Castelmezzano Begin your trek in the charming village of Castelmezzano, known for its rock-carved houses and medieval streets. Before you start, take in the breathtaking views of the valley below—an incredible introduction to the journey ahead. The Caperrino stream Follow the path as it leads down into the Caperrino Stream valley. The landscape shifts here, from the heights of Castelmezzano to the lush, tranquil valley—a serene escape into nature. Once you arrive in the valley, pause to admire the stunning panorama and soak in the peaceful sounds of nature. It’s the perfect moment to reflect on the area’s history before continuing the climb to Pietrapertosa. The Seven Stones Path The Seven Stones Path takes you through seven captivating themed stops, each inspired by local legends: destiny, enchantment, witches, flight, dance, and delirium. Along the way, you’ll experience artistic installations and immersive sounds that bring these stories to life. Hiking towards Pietrapertosa Now, begin the ascent toward Pietrapertosa. While the path is moderately challenging, each step rewards you with spectacular views of the Lucan Dolomites as the village draws nearer. Arrival to Pietrapertosa Arriving in Pietrapertosa, wander through its fascinating medieval center, with narrow streets and stone houses. The village is a true treasure, especially with the impressive Norman-Swabian Castle towering over the valley.
