This leg is full of historical, scenic and natural beauty.
If you set out early in the morning, you can take detours from the path, allowing you to discover the medieval villages in the area.
This leg is 24 km long and has numerous uphill and downhill stretches, but the height differences can be tackled at a slow and constant pace without too much effort.
You set off from Ponticelli and the first few km are easy, after which the uphill part begins, with views of Scandriglia and the surrounding mountains. The uphill climb continues as far as the village of Poggio Moiano, where you can rest and have something to eat and drink. Leaving the quaint village, you come across the church of San Martino.
You continue walking through vineyards and olive groves until you reach the sanctuary of Santa Vittoria, one of the most important religious buildings in the Sabina area, built early in the 12th century. The Romanesque church is a real gem of beauty and spirituality, itself making the walk to this point worthwhile.
Nearby, there is the archaeological area of Trebula Mutuesca. Continuing on, you can take a detour to visit the medieval village of Monteleone Sabino.
The gradual climb towards today's destination begins: Poggio San Lorenzo with the remains of the Roman walls and its hospitable people.
