Assisi-Spello
We suggest that you visit Assisi before starting. Assisi is an important little town, famous for
its “son” Saint Francis. There are many
really important churches, with famous frescoes painted during the middle age
(1200-1300).
Easy walking tour for the first day, along the “Via
degli Ulivi” (Olive Tree road). You will walk through olive trees, looking out
over the Umbrian valley for a
spectacular view from Perugia to Spoleto. Spello is situated on the top of the
hill at the southern end of Mount Subasio. It boasts Roman origins, as demonstrated by
the southern walls, Porta Consolare, Porta Venere, Porta Urbica, and the
amphitheater. Spello is a typical medieval town with narrow winding streets,
ogival arches, squares, towers, flights of stairs and façades made with the typical Subasio pink limestone.
Free dinner and overnight in Spello.
Km 12, a difference in altitude of about 250m.
Accommodation Hotel “Il cacciatore” (or similar)
2 Spello-Trevi After breakfast we leave Spello, travelling towards
Foligno following the “blue and yellow” signs . This a long path dedicated to
Saint Francis and called “Via di Roma”, (from La Verna-Tuscany- to Roma). Foligno
is one of the biggest towns in Umbria, with 50,000 inhabitants. The center is
charming and the main square is a perfect place to take a coffee. The tour
continues towards Trevi, passing through little villages and crossing natural
areas.

aqueduct on a scenic trail in the silence of nature. You will pass through the
small town of Alvanischio, going between
