Escursione Torrente Lorda a Sant'Agapito

The Natural Area of Lorda Torrent which is more suitable for excursion activities is the part included between Sant'Agapito and Longano, a canyon which develops for more than three kilometers and for a total surface of about 70 hectares. Along the torrent Lorda the waters flow during the whole year forming jumps and slides, in some stretches they subside forming deep pools. The river flows between steep walls of gray or reddish rock surrounded by green forests of holm oak covered with moss and ivy.
An environment that attracts lovers of water trekking, who love to walk for long stretches in the water, especially on hot summer days. From the excursionistic point of view, the area offers a good number of easy itineraries, but also more challenging trails that develop along both banks. Along these itineraries you will come across wooden bridges and waterfalls, pools and cisterns of clear and fresh water and historical evidence of industrial archeology related to the use of the waters of the river: water mills and hydroelectric power plants now in disuse.
