Very suggestive route that I recommend in every season, but certainly in autumn the atmosphere is magical, for the colors of the forest, for the energy that you breathe on the ancient mule tracks, in the hermitage and finally at the sources of the Tiber. It is suitable for everyone because it is not particularly demanding, some climbs, but acceptable!
