Trail Reviews
The tour begins with a steep climb that ends at Colle delle Rufino. The subsequent crossing of Monte Subasio affords magnificent views of the surrounding landscape and the Apennine mountain ranges. The return route leads along narrow paths past the Croce di Sassopiano – with a magnificent view of Assisi – to the Sanctuary Eremo delle Carceri. From there, an easy path leads back to the ascent route to Assisi.
IMPORTANT!!! Along the path, halfway between point 2 and the top of Mount Subasio, you will encounter, once fenced with barbed wire, the access to a cave, which can be accessed from above by lowering yourself with a rope, through a structure still present. The fence has been knocked down, giving the possibility of accessing the entrance which is not very visible and dangerous. Pay close attention.
