Pilgrim walks in Stroncone

The Francis route leads from Sant'Ellero near Florence through Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio via Assisi to Rome.

The pilgrimage route of Saint Francis in Italy leads from Florence to Rome. It is mostly walked in two sections. The first section goes from Florence to Assisi, the second from Assisi to Rome. At the end of September 2025, my brother Horst and I walked the second section from Assisi to Rome in 12 stages. If you want to walk the pilgrimage route, you should be aware that it is located in the mountains of Tuscany and Umbria. Among other things, you will experience long stages with many steep ascents and descents of up to 1000m elevation gain, and all this with a heavy backpack. Therefore, it is advisable to prepare well physically and organizationally. To look at the GPS data of the stages carefully and to supplement accommodation.

Von Colescipoli nach Stroncone

Tour  La Verna bis Assisi, ich habe die Tour selbst bis Rieti digitalisiert  und bin heuer mit meiner Frau  von La Verna bis Assisi -rund 200 km -im Mai gegangen. Den nächsten Abschnitt bis Rom wollen wir im nächsten Jahr durchführen.Mit Ausnahme von 2 Tagen hatten wir immer schönes und angenehmes Wetter. Es ist eine sehr ruhige und beschauliche, aber anstrengende Tour. Man begegnet relativ wenig Menschen. Obwohl wir relativ "gute Geher" sind, stimmen die Angaben auf den Wegweisern , wie Entfernung und Zeit häufig nicht mit der Realität überein. Die Unterkünfte bzw. Hotels waren durchwegs in Ordnung.Wichtig ist ,genügend Wasser und auch Verpflegung mitzunehmen, da bei den meisten Strecken keine Möglichkeit besteht unterwegs etwas zu kaufen.
