Reviewed By TheKoolKestrel - Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
A great walk between the villages - highly recommended for exercise, nature and sweeping vistas. Especially nice in late October with autumn colour (tho probably even better early Nov) and cyclamen and other flowers in the woods. Much of it was shaded when we did it, and there also a number of nice picnic spots in and out of the sun. We found hearing the music and words from the stones to be evocative and even magical at times but I can see that some would think them annoying. Some previous reviews greatly exaggerate the distance and ascent/descent. We began from Castelmezzano and there is about 200-250 metres of descent from there to the river and about 400-500 metres of ascent from the river to Pietraportosa, i.e about 600-700 metres total ascent. And about 2 kilometres each way. So strenuous but short - took us just over an hour to walk there and just under an hour to walk back (but we are fast walkers). The section from Castelmezzano to the river is rougher than from there to Pietraportosa, which is fairly evenly paved - we found sticks to be useful but not essential for the former. The walk is signposted as Percorso della 7 Pietre and begins about a kilometre outside Castelmezzano, just before the Cemeterio. If driving out of Castelmezzano ignore the road signposted to Tutti Direzione on the right and carry on downhill through bends until a hairpin with a Cemeterio sign - path starts a few yards away. (I think the road its the walk start is actually the one to Pietraportosa but not 100%). There is free parking at that point but it is a bit isolated, also free roadside parking for the first couple hundred metres as you leave town. If coming in from Matera, Potenza etc turn left at the T-junction as you hit town (about a km from the tunnel exit) i.e. don’t go into Castelmezzano itself. If you don’t want to walk back you can take the zip wire or Dolomiti Discovery (and no doubt others) offer a taxi service.
