Discover an authentic experience that combines flavour, nature, and ancient traditions in Castel Morrone, a peaceful inland village in the province of Caserta, in the heart of Campania. Far from crowded tourist routes, this experience invites you to explore the hidden soul of the Casertan countryside through genuine flavours, scenic landscapes, and a rare natural wonder.
Your journey begins in the charming courtyard known as “’U Curtigl ’e Zi Fonz”, an evocative place that reflects the convivial spirit of village life. Here, together with Zi Filuccia, guardian of rural traditions, you will take part in a hands-on cooking workshop and learn to prepare handmade gnocchi using simple techniques passed down through generations.
After the cooking activity, the experience continues with a guided trek led by a Hiking Environmental Guide, following scenic paths through woods, clearings, and panoramic viewpoints in the green heart of the Alto Casertano, just minutes from Casertavecchia.
The highlight of the itinerary is the discovery of the Comole of Castel Morrone, extraordinary karst sinkholes and a little-known geological phenomenon that makes this landscape truly unique. Hidden among nature and tied to local stories and legends, these natural formations offer an off-the-beaten-path encounter with one of the most distinctive corners of inland Campania.
Along the route, enjoy a traditional outdoor coffee break prepared with a moka pot and camping stove, a simple ritual that recalls the spirit of rural excursions and local customs.
Back in the village, conclude the day with a convivial tasting featuring the gnocchi you prepared, served with sauce, local specialities, and a glass of regional wine.
