Casteldelci is a destination for you if you want to actively experience an Apennine landscape while also discovering traces of history. Paths and bridleways can be explored on foot, horseback or by mountain bike and lie within an unspoiled Apennine landscape. The historic center, the Ponte Vecchio and the bell tower provide the town with different cultural points of reference. Together with regional cuisine and the offerings of the Eco Park, they create a varied setting for individual days in the mountains.

Nature and Outdoor Activities around the Eco Park

The Eco Park is at the center of several experiences. The Casteldelci waterfalls can be reached from there via a short footpath. The Eco Park also offers E-bike rental. In a natural setting, recreational, play and sports activities as well as opportunities for mountain tourism are available. This gives you various ways to explore the landscape at different paces, without any single activity defining the character of the place.

The valley near the Casteldelci waterfalls features riverside woods with willows and poplars. There are also outlets of sulfur-bearing water nearby. These landscape features add to the impression of a valley shaped by waterways, vegetation and geological formations. Those who want to experience not only a viewpoint but also the surrounding area itself during their stay will find concrete starting points for planning their day along the paths and bridleways.

Bridge, River Landscape and Local History

The Ponte Vecchio stands at the beginning of the road leading uphill to the main settlement of Casteldelci. For centuries, it marked the most important access route from the valley. The bridge crosses the Senatello River and fits into the surrounding river landscape and the sandstone outcrops typical of the area. At this structure, you can therefore consider the historic route, the river environment and the geological formations of the surroundings together.

The historic center of Casteldelci contains a stone village with old portals. The bell tower dates back to the year 1100 and originally served a defensive purpose. It later became the bell tower of the nearby Church of San Martino. This makes the town's history tangible through its preserved buildings: the historic center conveys the character of a village that developed over time in stone, while the bell tower illustrates a progression from defense to ecclesiastical use.
