Trentinara

Trentinara sits at 606 meters on the Cantenna cliff in the northern Cilento, forty-five kilometers from Salerno, ten from Paestum. From the cliff edge the view runs across the Sele plain, the Greek temples below, the Gulf of Salerno and Capri on a clear day, which is why the town is called the Terrazza del Cilento. The local legend explains the cliff a different way.

Saul, a bandit chief, fell in love with Isabella, daughter of the marquis. Forbidden to marry, the two jumped from the Cantenna together; the boulders below, the Preta 'ncatenata, are still pointed out as the place where their bodies fused. The Cilento in Volo zipline opened on the cliff edge: 1,500 meters of cable, 170 meters of drop, top speed 120 km/h, ending near Capaccio. The centro storico above is small, around 1,581 residents, with the Chiesa di San Nicola at the top of the ridge and a glass terrace, the Coast to Coast skywalk, suspended over the void.
