Richard And Jo Demeester's photos with the keyword: Castelmezzano

Morning, Castelmezzano.

We had consciously decided that an anniversary lunch would be preferable to allow, despite the lower temperatures, the view while dining. After all, the vista is what makes Castelmezzano so amazing. Happy 32 years, my love.

So, while these are not "The Dolomites", they are dolomite formations. Dolomite is the name of the mineral, so that will do for the geology lesson. The dramatic nature of the formations is all we really care about. It was not too arduous to walk down from Castelmezzano, across the river, and up to this fine viewpoint, above the town of Pietrapertosa. Not visiible in the photo, there is a zipline running from one of the further peaks across to the one we took this photo from. Volo dell'Angelo - Flight of the Angel. Deep down, I was probably relieved it was closed for the season when we were there.

Morning, Castelmezzano.

OK, the balcony was small, but the view was true to what the website implied we would get. We were thrilled, and would recommend the place to anyone heading anywhere near here. Downside? A steep walk in to town. A minor inconvenience.
