Hello friends of Steemit Travel
Sorry for my absence, but I wanted to take some time off to disconnect.
Sometimes you have to do it to reset and get much better, I have so many projects in the pipeline that I need to calm down.
These days, I hiked to a place I had never been to, but had heard about from my uncle.
It was the village of Lumignano, a small town in the province of Vicenza.
You know how much I care with my YouTube channel, but also with my Steemit page, to introduce you to places in Italy that are less known, but from my point of view are worth visiting.
Basically, I wanted to get from the village to the ancient quarries, which once mined material to make roads, but even earlier people had settled here in the Iron Age.
Here, as in other places I have visited in the area, there are numerous Christian capitals, these were built by those who lived here to thank God for graces received.
This, on the other hand, is the Hermitage of San Cassiano, which unfortunately for reasons of time I did not reach, built by a hermit who lived, ate and prayed here, I hope to have another chance to reach it.
The road from the village immediately began to climb, along a beautiful path through the forest, those paths that I like.
Along my route, I found this table indicating Attila's tooth, perhaps this rock outcrop resembles the shape of a tooth.
I did not understand much from this sign unfortunately.
As we climbed further up the path, we began to see the village from above, with the beautiful bell tower of the Lumignano church.
I made it all the way to the top, where there is a large church, something that is very common in these parts, in fact it usually indicates the top of the mountain.
After much walking, about two hours, I arrived near these caves, which are very eerie.
They are natural, not man-made, but many people have lived here, even during the war they served as a shelter.
Eventually they became quarries, but then over time they were abandoned.
It is a pity they were not recovered to make a museum.
I found a sign saying not to get too close, because they are at risk of collapse, being limestone.
So I took another road down to the village, where I had parked my car.
I passed a large boulder on the way, and a very nice gentleman who lives here explained to me that it came off the mountain many years ago.
I hope you enjoyed my story, this is certainly a beautiful place to go trekking in the middle of nature, too bad that in Italy these places are not valued.
Thanks for reading, see you at the next post!
I would like to remind you to participate in the contest I organised! I would like to award a nice photo! I leave you the link below👇
I have posted on my YouTube channel, a video where I explain Steemit Travel how it works, and I must say that I have had a few comments from people who want to try writing here, I am happy about that!!!
