Stage 15: Eremo di San Pietro in Vigneto - Valfabbrica

From the Val di Chiaschio - Hermitage of San Pietro in Vigneto area, after a descent, you go up towards the Church of Caprignone, which is also a cool resting point in the shade of the trees. We continue the challenging climb up to the Biscina Castle, the last point where we can stock up on water. From here on it is almost all downhill to Valfabbrica. This last stretch, however, is on asphalt and under the sun, always remember to wear a hat and a supply of water. Be careful along the path, because you will come across a crossroads. From the crossroads you can decide whether to follow the signs towards the Franciscan parish church of Coccorano. This route is longer, but offers unexpected views of the artificial Chiascio basin. The stop at the parish church repays the effort. As an alternative to the previous crossroads, continue downhill along the dam (check the route on the short variant no. 15 a). The wait is almost over and Valfabbrica is a Franciscan Monte do Gozo where you can meditate on the journey that will be fulfilled in Assisi in front of Francis’ tomb.
