Stage Description
This stage marks the arrival at the Holy Valley and the city of Rieti. The route is mainly downhill, leaving the hills of the Sabine region to enter a fertile plain of great importance in the life of St. Francis. Arrival in Rieti, Italy's geographical center, is an important milestone on the way. It is a transitional day that allows for comfortable walking and the anticipation of arrival at one of the key cities on the route.
The Poggio San Lorenzo to Rieti stage is a 21.6 km journey that marks the arrival at the Holy Valley. The route starts from Poggio San Lorenzo (494 m) and follows a predominantly descending profile towards the Rieti plain (405 m). The route passes through a beautiful landscape, with olive groves and fields of cultivation. It's an enjoyable walk that allows you to appreciate the scenery and the tranquility of the surroundings. Arrival in Rieti is an important moment on the trail. This city, considered Italy's geographical center, is the capital of the Holy Valley, a fundamental place in Saint Francis' life. Its heritage, with the Cathedral, Papal Palace and medieval walls, deserves a thorough visit. It's a stage that combines gentle exercise with rich historical and spiritual experience, a perfect balance on the Way of Saint Francis.
