Programme
Day 1 – The start of the Via Appia, taking in archaeological sites and villages (around 14 km)
The tour starts in Mirabella Eclano, formerly known as Aeclanum, one of the most important archaeological sites associated with the Via Appia.
The route follows the historic path, passing through the Frigento area and on to Gesualdo, winding its way through the hills and countryside and past the remains of the ancient Roman road network.
A first day devoted to discovering history, where a leisurely stroll accompanies the stories of these places.
Arrival in Gesualdo, time to rest and reflect on the day.
Day 2 – Along the ancient roads of inland Irpinia (approx. 12 km)
Set off from Gesualdo and continue the walk towards Rocca San Felice.
The route winds its way along footpaths, through rural landscapes and past panoramic views that evoke the spirit of a journey along a major trade route of the ancient world.
Arrival in Rocca San Felice, a fortified village of medieval origin, followed by some time spent exploring the village.
Day 3 – The Appian Way through fortresses and highlands (approx. 22 km)
The final stage of the journey, from Rocca San Felice to Bisaccia.
A longer and more challenging stretch, passing through open countryside and high-altitude terrain, following the historic route of the Via Appia.
Arrive in Bisaccia, the village that epitomises Upper Irpinia, and this marks the end of the walk.
Farewells and the return journey.
