What to see near Natura e Gusto in Cascia

Walks of half an hour, one hour or two hours start from the farm. The area includes the Roman tomb of Manigi and the old tower of Tazzo, and the route Saint Rita followed from Cascia to Roccaporena passes through it: the Sentiero di Santa Rita, marked in yellow with a cross crossed by the letter R, runs mostly through the woods along the Corno river. It has been damaged by earthquakes and bad weather, so its condition should be checked before setting out.
