Inside Nera River Park, between the villages of Arrone and Ferentillo, you will have the option to use a stretch of 12 kilometers to do a very special "walk", gliding on the river. Corno River in fact is divided into two sections with the same length, for a period of about 2 hours, walked in maximum safety for those who love "slow" sport and nature.
In the grip of Biselli you will have the opportunity to have a bath and drink water from a spring that flows directly from the rock.
