Degree of difficulty

moderate

A less demanding stage than the previous ones, thanks to the lower overall elevation gain and the absence of particularly challenging climbs.

The route is dotted with chapels, small churches and wayside shrines. In the first section, it follows low-traffic roads and mule tracks, ascending three valleys through woodland and natural surroundings. After the final climb, the route begins to descend towards the plain of Gubbio, while the woods gradually give way to cultivated fields and villages.

The last section is pleasantly flat and leads all the way to Gubbio, where the walk may conclude before the statue depicting Francis and the wolf, commemorating the miracle of the fierce beast tamed by the Saint.
