The Sfilzi wood

From the slopes of the Umbrian Forest we will climb through the lovely wood of Cerro, along a path where you can meet deers, hares and boars. We will visit the fountain of Sfilzi, the highest perpetual fountain of the forest, and as soon as we get to the top of the mountain we will dive ourselves into an extremely entertaining downhill that will bring us back, after passing through an oak grove, to the olive groves of Vieste. On our way back we will stop at an oil mill for a visit and tasting.
Length: about 35Km/ 680 meters uphill

The Sacred way

From Vieste we will climb up, following the “Tacca del lupo” (the wolf’s notch), in a fascinating path among centennial oaks and stone pools. As we get to the top, we will take the path of the pilgrims of San Michele, who once used to reach Monte Sant’Angelo on foot. Afterwards we will climb down to the slopes of the Monte Sacro (Sacred mountain) where a wonderful lowland, kingdom of the wild orchids, opens up to the view. We will then proceed to a farmhouse where we will have lunch with typical products. After lunch, we will get back on our saddle towards the Umbrian Forest and then down to Vieste, in a relaxing downhill among beeches and downy.
Length: about 65 Km/900 meters uphill
