피에트랄룽가 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Besides being an interesting religious monument, bearing witness to the many earthquakes that have long plagued the region, the parish church is also a hostel for pilgrims walking the Via di Francesco. It's run by volunteers, so it's best to call to make sure it's open.

On the path you are now walking on, the Casale is finally on the right. You are now walking on the old Roman road, which was built around 220 BC. Hang on a little longer, you are almost there!

Here you take the path up on the left. At the top of the path you go left and keep walking straight ahead. You will come across a few paths on your left but keep to the right.

You walk this path all the way down until you see this sign at the end (photo 6) this is a good half hour walk. Then take the bend to the left towards Pietralunga.

You walk down this path until you reach a junction and then take route 119 down to Caiburroni on the left. On the other side you can now see the farm of our neighbour who also works our lands.

Walk all the way down the paved road, pass Mandrelli on the right (Tip!) and continue until you reach the Church of Castelfranco. On the right side of the church is a path. Turn here! You will now come to a fork (see photo 3) and take the path on the left side of the mast.

After about 500 meters you will see a tree with a map in it on the left side of the path, with the arrow pointing upwards to the left. If you climb up the mountain on the left here, you will have the first beautiful view. In a moment you will walk on the other side of the mountain on the sandy path. When you have enjoyed the view, you can return to the route. What kind of bush do you think is under the map? Walk a short distance until you reach the paved road, here you turn left.

You start the route at the parking lot at the gate towards the forest. Make sure you have enough water, 1 liter per person, good shoes with grip and preferably start the hike as early as possible. This is because of the sun that can burn wonderfully during the route. After the gate, take the path on the right up towards Mandrelli. You will see a number of broken pipes in the ground along the way. Fortunately, these are not pipes that lead to the Casale, so no worries!
