    Gubbio and Dangling Cages of Death

    Published: Oct 21, 2011 · Modified: Jun 12, 2018 by Marissa Stevens · 6 Comments

    From Brigolante, it's worth the 45 minute drive just to see the farmland and countryside from the winding road. But couple that with a promise to ride in "Dangling Cages of Death" - as named by Rebecca's 7 and 10-year-old sons - and Gubbio's draw is irresistible.

    This medieval town is stunning and steeped in religious and military history.

    But today, we've come for the view. A lift with dangling, birdcage looking carriages, ascends Mt. Ingino.

      Again, what amazing pictures! Love the dangling cages of death! I'm pretty sure I couldn't talk either Bry or Brayden to stepping foot on one of those things!!!

        Then they would love the fact that we had to run to leap on and jump off while they were at full speed - no stopping them.
