Final Tips from Local Guides

  • Book Accommodations in Advance: limited bed capacity, especially in small villages like Monzuno or Madonna dei Fornelli.
  • The "Flaminia Militare" Side-Quest: look out for the ancient Roman paving stones of the Flaminia Militare (dating back to 187 BC) walking on stones laid over 2,000 years ago is the most magical part of the whole trek!
