Inconspicuous forest canyon for collectors

Access: machine translated ➜

Coming from Florence on the A1, leave it at Orvieto (about 140 km after Florence) and take the SS 448 towards Todi. Passing to the north of this town, take the SS 3 in the direction of Terni. 21.5 km after joining the SS 3, leave it at Acquasparta and take the SS 418 (= SS 3ter) east towards Spoleto. After about 12 km and 2 km after passing through the village of Cisterna, a fork leads to the left towards Costa and Chiesa S. Onofrio. This road soon becomes a dirt road, keep left at the forks in the valley and you will eventually come to an open area by a spring. Park the car here.

Approach (1 h): machine translated ➜

From the parking lot you go up along the stream. High up you can see the village of Scoppio in front of you. After about 1000 m the Fosso di Matassa comes down from the right. Continue along the streambed of the main stream (westwards) and climb up its southern slope until you reach a path (at about 590 m above sea level) that crosses the streambed to the right and leads up to the village of Scoppio (708 m) in a few minutes (beautiful view; about 1 hour walk). Leave it on the right and head NE on trail n. 12 that leads to La Costa. After a few hairpin bends descend into the streambed of Fosso Matassa.

Tour (1 h): machine translated ➜

The ditch with 8 rappel is basically dry and does not offer much else. The best is the promising approach via Scoppio.

Return (20 min): machine translated ➜

After reaching the streambed walked on the ascent, back to the parking lot.
