“Landscape” view/ much closer view (#16A in series: Devil’s Bridge, Raganello Gorge)

 

 

 

Chances are excellent that you have never heard of Civita – a southern Italian mountain village which sits within Calabria’s spectacular Raganello Gorge.

It is a very rewarding destination, both scenically and culturally…and there is adventure tourism” too, for climbers, kayakers and “white water” enthusiasts.

Civita is sometimes referred to as “the village of the Devil’s Bridge”.

The higher rim of the Raganello River’s gorge towers above Civita, but from village’s edge to Devil’s Bridge – which spans the river – it is still a long way down.

European surprises (#10 in single-image series: Raganello Gorge)

 

 

This sequel to #9 in this series takes us to the edge of the same Calabrian mountain village.

Civita sits within Italy’s largest national park; Pollino National Park is named after the Pollino massif, which reaches a little higher than does anything on the Australian continent.

The brink of a very deep gorge, carved by the waters of the Raganello, is just an easy, short walk away from the centre of Civita.
