Eremo di Calomini
Tuscany
Built directly into the rock above Vergemoli, this hermitage has drawn pilgrims since the Middle Ages for its cave chapel and dramatic setting. The short approach trail winds through chestnut woods with views down to the river gorge below. Swifts and choughs wheel around the cliff face at dusk.
