Croce di Sasso Piano (Sasso Piano Cross)

The cross at the summit of the Sasso Piano (Croce di Sasso Piano) at 1124 m stands on a grassy saddle and offers the hiker a breathtaking panoramic view of the Umbrian landscape and the old town of Assisi at its feet. There are also beautiful views of Monte Tezio and Monte Acuto (N-W), Perugia and Lake Trasimeno (W-N-W), whose reflections are only visible in the afternoon, the saddle of Torgiano (W), the wooded hills of Bettona (W-S-W ), in the background the Martani Mountains (S-S-W), on the Bevagna (S) and Foligno (S-S-E) valley sections.
The large, massive limestone boulders on the plateau appear to have been shaped for the use of hikers, who find this an ideal place for rest and reflection.
"Cities, villages, castles, churches, farmhouses, rivers, streams, blue forests, lonely peaks, rich pastures, gentle olive groves, arduous plains appear from above as if in the magic of a vision" (Arnaldo Fortini).

View extends to Assisi and over the whole wide valley. Wonderful flowers 🌺 in May.

Great view over the valley of Assisi.
