September 2, 2021,🇮🇹 Runde von Caramanico Terme ins Orfeno-Tal

A wonderfully shady tour with a magnificent view of the Orfeno Gorge. The path and its marking are great. The place Caramanico Terme is worth a visit. We have limited ourselves to the obligatory ice cream; but maybe come here again.
To enjoy the great views of the gorge at the end of the tour, you should walk it clockwise.
