V	Vito Tavano on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Un percorso davvero bello, mantenuto bene, di livello medio/facile, autentico perché la natura fa da protagonista lungo tutto il percorso ma gli interventi dell'uomo sono mirati e azzeccati senza alterare il paesaggio. L'idea delle sette pietre che indicano la via e mantengono viva la leggenda popolare è davvero originale. La prima parte, che si percorre partendo dal cimitero appena fuori Castelmezzano, si affronta tutta d'un fiato fino all'arrivo a valle costeggiando il torrente, superato il ponte romano inizia la parte tosta, una salita continua e a tratti pesante ma con pazienza e volontà si riesce a chiudere il percorso in un paio d'ore al massimo. La parte a valle per me e la mia famiglia è stato il punto più bello si respira una atmosfera magica e rilassante ed in più c'è la possibilità anche di sostare e fare un bel Pic nic tra la cornice delle Dolomiti Lucane. Consigliato assolutamente. A really beautiful route, well maintained, of medium / easy level, authentic because nature is the protagonist along the entire route but man's interventions are targeted and spot on without altering the landscape. The idea of the seven stones that show the way and keep the popular legend alive is truly original. The first part, which is covered starting from the cemetery just outside Castelmezzano, is faced in one breath until the arrival in the valley along the stream, after the Roman bridge begins the tough part, a continuous and sometimes heavy climb but with patience and will manage to close the path in a couple of hours at the most. The valley part for me and my family was the most beautiful point you can breathe a magical and relaxing atmosphere and in addition there is the possibility of stopping and having a nice picnic in the setting of the Lucanian Dolomites. Absolutely recommended.

T	Tere Galdeano on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really nice walk, I'm not much in to the poetry behind it, but enjoy the road very much
K	Keanwooi Law on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small town in the mountain and no transportation go to the place but the place is very quite and very beautiful
G	Giovanni Lombardi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa are fabolous places for both mountain lovers and families. The Dolomiti Lucane are really impressive and this walk at their feet is magical. Pay attention to the talking stones and don't be afraid...listen to the history about the San Vitus' dance
J	Jules C. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Forget everything about this path. Its magic resides in the views, in the place you are in. Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa are such wonderful places, two of the most beautiful I’ve ever been to. This path just connects both towns, and in between you crash into random, man-made stones which supposedly tell you a story via hidden speakers (I could hardly listen to because of course it is in italian) but that’s not half the joy you can get on this trip. If you are here then consider yourself very lucky. The path is just anecdotic. But if you want to do it anyway, keep in mind it may be tiring at moments since there are huge steps and a very long rise on the last part, reaching Pietrapertosa. The concept of the talking stones was a bit weird to me, but try it for yourself. Worst case scenario, you are involved in such a beautiful landscape.
