Kayaking among the Marmitte dei Giganti

An unforgettable adventure just a stone’s throw from the Castle: let yourself be carried away by the slow rhythm of the paddle, as the Metauro River guides you into one of Italy’s most evocative canyons. Between rocky walls sculpted by time and reflections of light on the water, you will discover the timeless magic of the Marmitte dei Giganti (Giants’ Potholes).

Your experience

Accompanied by expert guides, you will experience the thrill of navigating along a unique route, enveloped by the silence of nature and the murmur of water. The gorge narrows, creating plays of light and shadow, then opens up into a sunny stretch where you can enjoy a refreshing break.
According to legend, these circular cavities were the “pots” of the Giants: today they tell a geological story spanning millions of years, which you can observe from a privileged and surprising perspective.
