Escursionismo in provincia di Terni

Immediately after leaving Ovieto there are a series of hairpin bends in the road. The trail map shows a shortcut between the loops which we took, and soon regretted. See my screenshot of the map. This shortcut is completely overgrown with weeds, bushes and thorns with steep and irregular ground. It is highly unpleasant, difficult and dangerous to negotiate. At the bottom of that slope the exit, a broken gate, is on the left. DO NOT TAKE THIS SHORT PATH! Stick to the road until clear of it. The rest of today’s route is delightful.

Yesterday (14.11.24) I did the route from Amelia to Orte (and I walked on from there to Orte Scalo station-another brisk 45 mins, though buses are available). It's a lovely route, largely off road with good airy tracks. I knew the route crossed the Rio river but I didn't realise the crossing was a ford. That's OK, of course, for an experienced walker which I am (though 76). But when I got to the ford I found it in poor condition and with a stout fence erected on the opposite bank. I took off my boots and socks and rolled up my trousers and crossed safely. The water was bloody freezing and the far bank was muddy. I climbed the fence OK and dried off and continued- you have been warned.

2 Oldies 70 und 74 starteten in Pontassieve nähe Florenz um zum erstenmal mit Gepäck nach Assisi zu wandern. Durch die traumhafte Toskana dann durch den Casentino Nationalpark(sehr waldreich) über Camaldoli und La Verna erreichten wir Assisi wohlbehalten. Meine Highlights waren das idyllische Camaldoli der heilige Wald von La Verna. Übernachtungen vorab zu buchen war kein Problem. Die Etappen anstrengend aber machbar. Die Markierungen meistens vorhanden. Für jeden Kultur-und Naturinteressierten ein herrliches Erlebnis

Good directions but the distance is a lot further due to more bends in the path.
