From the medieval village of Citerna, located on a hill overlooking the Upper Tiber Valley, you can follow the alternative route that leads to Monterchi and then continues towards Città di castello. The route heads towards Monterchi, a small Tuscan village famous for Piero della Francesca's masterpiece, the Madonna del Parto, preserved in the museum of the same name. When you pass through, don’t miss the opportunity to stop and admire one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance. The path passes through gentle hills dotted with olive trees and cypresses, with views opening onto the Tiber Valley and the Apennine landscape. This stretch invites contemplation, with views that seem to come out of a Renaissance painting. Continuing towards Città di Castello, the path passes near farmhouses and reception facilities, an ideal stop for those seeking refreshment and direct contact with nature. From Le Burgne follow the route of the stage.
