Flight of the angel &#8211; unknown gem of southern Italy"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>There were two towns Castelmezzano and Piterapertosa spaced from each other little more than a kilometer and separated by a deep ravine of Dolomiti Lucane. Innovative and enterprising residents, one day put\u00a0steel wire rope over a precipice and through it created the possibility of &#8220;flying&#8221;\u00a0between towns.\u00a0Today, everyone can fly, and experience incredible mixture of fear, excitement and delight\u00a0of the landscape\u00a0beauty. See\u00a0one of the greatest experiences in the history of our Italian trip &#8211; Volo dell&#8217;Angelo, located in Basilicata, which is one and a half kilometer rope stretched 400 meters above the precipice and being traveled\u00a0at a speed of 120 km\/h. News coverage with Angel Flight, along with the film from the camera mounted on a helmet!<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful, but cold morning of 1 September 2013. woke us up on a farm &#8220;Grotta dell&#8217;Eremita&#8221; in Dolimiti Lucane in the Province of Potenza, which we reached the previous day just before midnight, after an evening adventure in Naples. A small, clean room and simple but tasty breakfastcompound with coffee and hot croissants straight from the oven may not be uncommon, but for our purposes it was sufficient. Paying more than 60 euros per night for a double room with breakfast at the place where we wanted to spend a sudden eight hours would be unwise. Agriturismo itself is a cozy hotel situated in a desolate place, served\u00a0by very sympathetic Mirco.\u00a0In the evening you can enjoy a meal in the hotel restaurant &#8211; pizzeria, which we unfortunately did not use, because once it was too late, and two &#8211; not being able to eat pizza in Naples we ate\u00a0sfogliatelle at a gas station near Salerno. As I mentioned to you earlier in this journey I took with me from Poland\u00a0sore throat, which was sometimes intensified. Upon arrival at the agriturismo dreamed of a hot cup of tea, but in the room there was no kettle. Mirco brought us from\u00a0the restaurant cups and a kettle of boiling water (a packet of green tea always we take with us). The only drawback of this place is for me too weak mute rooms, in fact\u00a0total lack of it. Unfortunately, I slept badly because of the noises coming from the outside, as well as tiring me cough. In the morning I woke up with rings under my\u00a0eyes and a swollen face.<\/p>\n<p>I must add one more thing\u00a0agriturismo Grotta dell&#8217;Eremita is located in the mountains &#8211; even though the day was with beautiful weather and high temperatures, the morning was cold, without long pants and a sweater would be not nice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m29!1m12!1m3!1d773226.733058716!2d14.84973588680345!3d40.7968310939459!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m14!1i0!3e6!4m5!1s0x133b0866db7afaeb%3A0xd23a43cc658cb87e!2zTmVhcG9sLCBXxYJvY2h5!3m2!1d40.8517746!2d14.2681244!4m5!1s0x1338e96bf88890eb%3A0x2ba45cd49a2eb819!2sCastelmezzano+PZ%2C+W%C5%82ochy!3m2!1d40.5286268!2d16.0454911!5e0!3m2!1spl!2spl!4v1402223414273\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nGetting to Castelmezzano (picture at the beginning of the post), the quaint town beautifully situated inthe middle of \u00a0steep rocks took us 10 minutes. After we park our car for free on the road in front of the barrier blocking the entrance to the center we went to the ticket office. Flight of angel is reserved beforehand stating the date, time and preference -single fly or double (more on that later) on the website (link and prices at the end of the post), but when you arrive you must pay and receive confirmation in the office located on the main street of the historic center, about half of its length. Walk through the town is unforgettable, indeed you\u00a0will see it in a moment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/castelmezzano-z-bliska.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7699\" src=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/castelmezzano-z-bliska.jpg\" alt=\"castelmezzano-z-bliska\" width=\"610\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/castelmezzano-z-bliska.jpg 610w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/castelmezzano-z-bliska-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/castelmezzano-z-bliska-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will attempt to show you\u00a0what exactly&#8217;s\u00a0going on in Flight of the angel.\u00a0Probably some of you fligh of the angel\u00a0is associated with a known feature of the Venetian carnival that has\u00a0the same name, but the attraction of the &#8220;city on the water&#8221; is nothing compared to the adrenaline offered by theDolomiti Lucane. Between Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa straight-line distance is just over a kilometer, but to cross the road between the towns you must\u00a0drive over 10 km! Due to necessity of driving\u00a0into a deep ravine, and then tailboard uphill.\u00a0This amazing location was used to create attractions for unconventional tourism, because most of the people visiting this place is limited only to look at daredevils rushing down\u00a0across the abyss with a depth up to 400m. Between the towns hung two steel cables. The first line is called Peschiera, length of 1,550m, on\u00a0which starts from Castelmezzano with\u00a0a height of 1,019 m above sea level and arrives to Pietrapertosa on the height of 888 m above sea level, which overcomes a height difference equal to 131m.\u00a0Maximum speed achieved on this line is 120 km\/h and it depends on body weight. The condition for admission to the flight weight is not less than 35kg but not exceeding 120kg, moreover, person must be over 16 years for the flight yourself, or 12 years for a flight in tandem with an adult. Dual flight means two people buckled in separate harnesses, but pinned to a trolley. The total maximum weight in the case of dual flight is 150kg.<\/p><div id=\"itali-312770771\" class=\"itali-tresc itali-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.empik.com\/ksiazki\/literatura-faktu-reportaz,3163,s?qtype=facetForm&#038;searchCategory=3163&#038;hideUnavailable=true&#038;authorFacet=natalia+rosiak\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"moje trzy podr\u00f3\u017cnicze ksi\u0105\u017cki\"><img src=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nowy-baner-3-ksiazki-male.jpg\" alt=\"moje trzy podr\u00f3\u017cnicze ksi\u0105\u017cki\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nowy-baner-3-ksiazki-male.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nowy-baner-3-ksiazki-male-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nowy-baner-3-ksiazki-male-920x690.jpg 920w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nowy-baner-3-ksiazki-male-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nowy-baner-3-ksiazki-male-728x546.jpg 728w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nowy-baner-3-ksiazki-male-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The second line is the San Martino with a length of 1,378m, on which starts from\u00a0Pietrapertosa at 1020m above sea level and ends flight in Castelmezzano at an altitude of 859m above the sea level overcoming the elevation of 161m. According to the leaflet included with the ticket, from which I got these numbers, the maximum speed is also 120 km\/h, but on the website of Volo dell&#8217;Angelo I&#8217; ve read\u00a0that it&#8217;s only 110 km\/h. Ah, the Italians!

Was it a good decision? You can\u00a0judge yourself \ud83d\ude42 After receiving our ticket we went back to where we parked the car. From there approx. every half an hour shuttle bus drove away delinquents over town, since no flights take off from centro storico, but the rocks visible above the buildings. Minibus reached the point where the road ended and dropped us off at the charming church. From there began the arduous climb to a high rock. I don&#8217;t know exactly what the amount still had to overcome, but it was approx. 100 m height difference. Beautiful views reward the hardships of climbing, but then slowly I began to be afraid of what was about to happen. Fear fueled me this view.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/lot-anio\u0142a.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7622\" src=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/lot-anio\u0142a.jpg\" alt=\"lot anio\u0142a\" width=\"610\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/lot-anio\u0142a.jpg 610w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/lot-anio\u0142a-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/lot-anio\u0142a-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On top of the rock is a start point, Pietrapertosa is visible from here as some roofs bit to the right near pointed rock. Scarcely from this perspective, I\u00a0realized\u00a0in which I take part. Finally came the moment when I stood at the top right next to the bridge, where flight began\u00a0&#8211; as then I thought &#8211; just crazy bloggers willing to make in their pants out of fear, just to write an interesting article for their readers. I\u00a0looked along the line, watching\u00a0like they let a guy and how he goes down. Then I announced to all and sundry no way, I do not fly. Arthur, of course, did not share my concerns, after all, he likes such attractions. I also liked it once, higher and faster, was equal to more fun once, when I was six years child after slid upside down from high on several floors winding slide located in aquapark near beach\u00a0and I had really fun.\u00a0But those days\u00a0passed, I became cowardly hag just before thirty, and despite the great desire to experience awesome\u00a0adventure, unfortunately, I wanted to run away from this dreadful rock as soon as possible. Of course, Arthur rebuked\u00a0me and says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; So&#8230;? You not share your readers that you&#8217;ve done your pants and run away?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Yes, will be a shame &#8211; I thought. &#8211; Ok, But (despite to purchased solo flights) they have to let us go together, otherwise I&#8217;ll go back to town by foot.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur went to talk down, when he\u00a0comes back, says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; There is no such possibility, they brought us here with two single harnesses, you have to go alone.<br \/>\nThey began to call me, and next to me few people waiting for their turn. Only die once &#8211; I thought &#8211; I&#8217;ll manage with it somehow. I\u00a0went to the bridge, the service began to wear me, and sore throat &#8211; probably silenced by inside coward &#8211; somehow ceased to hurt. Apogee occurred when they knocked me over a horizontal position and looking up I saw the exact flight path. Stress at that time was larger than before the exam for a driver&#8217;s license or diploma defense in Poznan University of Technology. But it wasn&#8217;t over yet. Pale with fright, I heard the question about my\u00a0weight.\u00a0Well, I&#8217;ve never been\u00a0the thin pole, but to fit in size 40 (no, not Italian one, but rather English) I had to always watch myself what I eat, so my parents made me like this and I cannot\u00a0change it. But since I founded\u00a0my\u00a0blog swap\u00a0spending every free moment on a bike or nordic walking to sitting in front of the computer, that&#8217;s why my arse has grown. Untill I noticed, to Castelmezzano arrived barely stuck in a jeans size no. 42.<\/p>\n<p>So polite guy\u00a0asking about my\u00a0weight, and I answer with squeaky voice, hoping that no one else hears. The guy\u00a0unfortunately can not hear, so he asks again: how much ??? Again I say, little louder, but not too loud. Whew, he heard something. Put radio close to his mouth and yells to the service in Pietrapertosa: woman, ** kilos! Corner of my eye I wathed\u00a0very slim Italians girls disbelieving their\u00a0ears and their guys with curiously watching my big\u00a0arse\u00a0quite different from those Italian, such\u00a0tiny running with\u00a0heels on the Roman pavement and red as a beetroot on my cheeks\u00a0I think, mamma mia! Let me go&#8230; please&#8230;.\u00a0as soon as possible!<\/p>\n<p>The security released and rigid with fear I&#8217;m beginning to pick up speed quickly. The beginning is dramatic. The worst is the feeling that I have no idea how much I accelerate, and in addition earthmoving away\u00a0regularly\u00a0now suddenly gives way to a deep abyss.\u00a0The views breathtaking, but the adrenaline does not allow me to fully enjoy the beauty of the area. After about half of the flight, I discover that it will not be worse, and surprisingly I start to relax and enjoy, that did not fool of myself. Joy did not last long, I see the\u00a0box designed to slow down an angel, and I recall how landing looks like.<\/p>\n<p>An Angel\u00a0with high speed flows into box, the rope is blocked and an angel is making quick hop forward, then backward. As it turned out the landing just looksscary, in fact, there is nothing to fear (I am writing this, coward, trust me). Great, succeeded, I&#8217;mstill alive, it will be something to write about on the blog, quickly go\u00a0to the shed\u00a0to give back harness, because Arthur immediately flies with a camera on a helmet, I want to see it.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, minute or so later\u00a0my husband arrives, unbuckled him and we both go to the &#8220;command center&#8221;, where nice gentleman say: great,\u00a0do\u00a0you want to buy a photos? Photos, that photoes? The guy clicks on comp\u00a0and shows us photos taken continually while approaching for landing. Arthur happy with a smile on his face, and I &#8230; well, with such expression I could successfully apply to Camorra. What an embarrassing, now I\u00a0know, flying back I&#8217;ll make a\u00a0Hollywood smile for\u00a0beautiful souvenir. Only later it turns out, that the photos are made only in one direction \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/natalia-volo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7694\" src=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/natalia-volo.jpg\" alt=\"natalia-volo\" width=\"610\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/natalia-volo.jpg 610w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/natalia-volo-360x241.jpg 360w, https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/natalia-volo-600x402.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I invite you to see less than a 10-minute film of our flight.

Firstly, speed feeling is lower, second, the earth does not escape so suddenly. Toanyone who wants to go, but\u00a0is\u00a0like me afraid, I recommend first start from\u00a0Pietrapertosa. You&#8217;ll see\u00a0that it was not so bad, you will experience the first landing, thus flying in the other direction will be able to more relaxed to enjoy\u00a0the views, and you will set a beautiful smile for the photos \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>single return flight cost in September 2013. 40 euros \/ person;<\/li>\n<li>double\u00a0return flight (two people fastened\u00a0together) cost 72 euros, total mass of flying may not exceed 150kg;<\/li>\n<li>the cost of a single image purchased from the service is 3 euros, staff made two images, one from a distance, the second one is close look;<\/li>\n<li>note!
