Greccio Sanctuary - Poggio Bustone Sanctuary
|
Length: 18.6 Km.
Difficulty: Medium
From the downhill slope at the Greccio Sanctuary, the walk follows the provincial road until it crosses the road for Reopasto. From here it proceeds in the direction of Terni. After about 600 metres, it turns towards Montisola and continues along a straight path lined by majestic Mulberry trees. Turning right, the walk proceeds until the Terria Bridge on the provincial road for Reopasto over the River Velino and on to the town of Colle San Pastore.
At this point, it turns left and leaves the provincial road behind to continue on to the town of Settecamini. From here, along the Via Settecamini, it reaches the visitor’s centre of the Lakes Lungo and Ripasottile Natural Reserve found in the town of Lanserra near the Idrovore building. The walk continues in the direction of Crispolti Bridge until it hits the road for Ternana that runs in the direction of Rieti. It then crosses the provincial road of Crispolti Bridge which is taken in the direction of Poggio Bustone.
From here, the walk is detoured onto a paved road that is lined and shaded by large oak trees (Quercus pubescens).
The walk now becomes slightly uphill towards Borgo San Pietro (a hamlet of Poggio Bustone). Once inside the small centre, it continues for a short while on the road for the Poggio Bustone Sanctuary towards Poggio Bustone, and then proceeds towards the town of Bandita.
The slope becomes steeper here. The distance is about two kilometres and there is a rise of 260 metres. At two thirds of the way up, the path enters the town of Poggio Bustone. A series of narrow alleys and steps through the town lead to the sanctuary.

| Pilgrim's Tales |
Peace, tranquility, silence abounding in memories…
White trails of steel horses streak the sky,
the noisy rattle of revolving turbines is relegated to a distant oblivion,
peace, tranquility, silence abounding in memories…
the burden of centuries is soaked with the present,
the timeless faces of the monks that, like the heavy...
