Fiuggi Between Thermal Baths, the Old Town and Nature Trails
Accommodation in Fiuggi
Fiuggi between two centers
Fiuggi consists of two separate centers: Fiuggi CittĂ , with its steep medieval town center, and Fiuggi Fonte, an independent thermal district to the south, beyond a narrow valley.
The water of Fiuggi is at the heart of Fiuggi Fonte. It is oligomineral and has a very low concentration of mineral salts; in particular, it contains little calcium and only a minimal amount of sodium.
Thermal waters and chestnut landscapes
The Terme di Bonifacio are located in a chestnut forest, while the Terme Anticolane consist mainly of gardens and walking paths in nature. The Fiuggi area also has chestnut forests typical of the region. The Castagneti di Fiuggi are just a few steps from the town center.
Herons, rails and wading birds gather along the shores of Lago di Canterno; ducks and grebes can be observed on the open water.
Trails for cyclists and hikers
For cycle tourists, the Paliano–Fiuggi cycle path is about 25 kilometers long. It follows the route of a former railway through the Ciociarian towns of Serrone, Piglio and Acuto to Fiuggi.
Fiuggi lies along the Cammino di Benedetto, a route of around 300 kilometers connecting Norcia, Subiaco and finally Montecassino.
Sulla Vecchia Ferrovia is a moderately demanding trail along the former railway line that ran from Rome to Fiuggi. The route passes old, rusty overhead line poles and offers views across the entire valley.
Another trail idea starts at the Green House: the hike to Big Bench 328 passes through the streets of central Fiuggi Fonte and then climbs up to the large bench. The viewpoint overlooks the Convento dei Cappuccini, the Borgo Antico di Fiuggi, the Monti Ernici and Lago di Canterno.
Medieval townscape and local tradition
In Fiuggi's historic village, the town has largely preserved its medieval architectural structure. This includes several towers from the former defensive wall, as well as steep, narrow alleys, arches, stairways and small squares.
The local history includes the Stuzze tradition, which takes place every year on February 2. Residents carry branches and dry logs on their shoulders to burn them and illuminate Fiuggi—in memory of the fire of San Biagio. Portella is another historic site: it is the only surviving gate of ancient Felcia, and the tower of the same name served to defend it.
A local flavor
The cuisine, too, has a distinct local character. One of the best-known dishes in Fiuggi is handmade egg pasta: the thin strips are called fini fini and are served with meat sauce or a simple tomato sauce.
