well worth the effort
Couples
The well maintained paved route down took about an hour taking it slowly and a bit longer going back (stopping off for a drink at the cafe about half way up. Take plenty of water. Took a picnic down and went below the bridge down to the river and rested there, paddling in the cool water. Really interesting half day outing.

Once in a lifetime experience
Couples
A one in a lifetime experience... we actually walked all the way down and back .... it was a lot of effort but definitely worth it! There is also a navetta available.

Go For It !
Couples
This is a must-do in Civita. The canyon is spectacular viewed from town or from the Devil's Bridge. It is quite the walk down on stone stairs. Without knowing for sure how far we would go, we hiked downstream from the bridge on the town side of the canyon (good trail). Turns out we eventually linked up to an old road into town making for a nice 6km loop and avoiding the stairs for the climb back to town.

Couldn’t go to the bridge it was closed for legal reasons
Couples
According to the news a terrible tragedy occurred in late August. A flash flood killed ten people in the canyon below the bridge. When we walked down the steep walk to the bridge in late September is was cordoned off with a sign stating that the area was under investigation and could not be accessed. Wished I’d know that before I spent 30 minutes walking down the steep hill, only to find out I had to walk back up without having the chance to see it. Minor issue I suppose when you consider the sad fate of the others.

Fabulous
Couples
You can go there on foot or by car. It's a fantastic place in Civita. You should do canyoning there with Roberto de Marco...

Very steep downhill walk but well worth it
Friends
Il ponte del diavolo is reached by a long walk downhill, parts of which are very steep with no steps. But if I can do it, anybody can! Just be sure to arrange a return trip back up to Civita with a 4x4 vehicle.

There are great views of the mountains, gorge, bridge and Ionian Sea on the way down, and the bridge itself is a marvel. Don't miss it.

Impressive gorge.
Couples
As we were lodging in the hotel just above the gorge, we managed to get there early in the morning (the sun didn't reach the bottom yet), so we were alone. Nice walk up the stream and refreshing bath in under a waterfall. When we were leaving at ten a.m., groups started to arrive and broke the peace.
So, if you really want to enjoy it, go there before nine even if it is a bit cold.

If you are willing do clim back over 800 steps....
Friends
We in the area call this our "little Grand Canyon", and I have to say that some of the views are impressive. One of the big differences with the original one in Arizona and Utah is the fact that in the US you can comfortably drive to both rims of the canyon, whereas here you have to walk an over 800-step long staircase (and walk it BACK!) after crossing the canyon on this Devil's Bridge. So, if you dare doing that, you're welcome. The views are worth it!

Great Views from Devil's Bridge
Solo
If you are traveling all the way to Civita, be sure to hike down to Devil's Bridge. Great views both above and below. We stumbled onto an Albanian choir singing on the bridge. Such magic with the incredible surroundings.

Amazing
Couples
We were fortunate enough to hit lucky and take the four wheel drive down to the bridge for a very modest price and with a charming driver. The bridge is amazing as is the gorge. Well worth walking down to find it if the jeep,is not around.
