A somewhat hidden side trip lead us to this UNESCO World Heritage site inhabited by the Romans in the 1st through the 3rd century. Hydraulic mining for gold forced the collapse of an elaborate tunnel system, stripping away the soft rock mountains and leaving canyon-like landscape. A hike to explore this took us through huge hickory treed farm land. Outstanding pork rib and fava bean soup lunch rewarded our rigorous climb.
