The Rupe is a trail that goes around the base of the cliff of Orvieto. One Morning Maggie, Gretchen, and I decided to take a jaunt around it. We made it 1/3 of the way before we were too tired and had enough. Rick Steves said it was going to be a flat trail….its not. Haha. There are defiantly places where the trail isn’t ADA by American standards, but as we are finding out not much of Italy would be ADA.
Our biggest issue was figuring out which path was the Rupe and which were the entrances/exits to the Rupe. We walked up two hills that turned out to take us back to the city and the third was suppose to be a panoramic view. The only issue was the tall brush that prevented the view.
Over all it was a pretty good workout.
I’ve currently only walked the Rupe in segments, mostly from our project tours. My goal is to get out their and at least walk the whole Rupe, then start making hiking trips further out in to the valley. My hiking trips are more like photographical explorations.
