Holiday apartment in Prodo: Canyon, hike and castles

Prodo combines a hiking route at the Fosso Campione canyon with ruins, castles and museums in the surrounding area. The hiking route runs around the Fosso Campione canyon, which is also known as Torrente di Prodo. This places a landscape at the center of attention that you can explore on foot and that opens up various options for planning your day.

Hike to the ruins of Castel di Ripe

The hike reaches the ruins of Castel di Ripe. This destination combines the experience of a route with a historic setting. In addition to the landscape, the ruins give the route an independent cultural dimension. The historic destination can be included in the same day plan as the route.

Landscape between the river park and the mountains

The Parco Fluviale del Tevere includes the Site of Community Importance Boschi di Prodo e Corbara. Monte Castellana, Monte della Colonnetta and Monte Piatto are located in the immediate vicinity of Prodo, and each is a mountain. Poggio Mazzucchina is also a mountain in the vicinity of Prodo.

Route 30 and canyoning

Regional Route 30 passes through the old village of Prodo and climbs through forests and pastureland to an altitude of 616 meters. The ascent to 616 meters can be taken into account as a separate planning factor when organizing a day outdoors. Both the route through forests and pastureland and the ascent are therefore relevant for this stretch. The path connects the old village with open landscape sections and can be planned as a route with changing terrain characteristics.

A special water route is the canyoning route at Fosso Campione. It includes several flooded sections where you have to swim between high, closely spaced rock walls. The canyoning route therefore requires a different form of movement from Regional Route 30. While Route 30 climbs through forests and pastureland to an altitude of 616 meters, swimming between the rock walls is the focus at Fosso Campione. For planning the day, the water route is therefore a separate type of route alongside the ascent.

Castles and museums in the surrounding area

Castello di Prodo is a castle in the immediate vicinity of Prodo and has been privately owned since 1871. Castello di Corbara is a castle in the vicinity of Prodo. In addition to the natural experiences, these historic buildings add a cultural accent to your travel planning.

Two other museums in the vicinity of Prodo are the Museum Dell'Opera del Duomo Orvieto and the Museum "E. Greco" - Orvieto. They complement the castles with two additional cultural destinations for planning your day.
