The paths are generally easy to follow, but some sections are unpaved and natural, so wear appropriate footwear.

Consider starting your hike earlier in the day to fully appreciate the views and the historic sites along the way.
This loop tour is deeply connected to the historic Basilica of Sant'Angelo in Formis, a significant landmark dating back to the 9th century. The basilica showcases early Christian and medieval architecture, featuring a medieval bell tower and a Romanesque portal. Inside, you will find well-preserved frescoes from the 11th and 12th centuries depicting religious scenes. Built on the ruins of a Roman temple dedicated to Diana Tifatina, the basilica's history adds a rich layer to your hiking experience.
