The route of trail 103 in Montefalcone Appennino

The start and finish are the same point, at an elevation of 756 m. In the first 300 meters the trail passes a church, a viewpoint and the Castello Farfense, all a few meters from the route; the center of the village is just beyond.

The trail climbs a little further, to about 800 m, below the summit of Monte Falcone (904 m), then begins to descend. The descent is the longest part: a kilometer and a half, down to the lowest point of the loop, at 650 m. From there the last kilometer climbs back to the village, regaining about a hundred meters; just before the finish the trail passes another church. The name comes from the old road that in the Middle Ages linked the valley to the two gates of the village, used by pilgrims, farmers and travelers: in the woods it partly preserves its original cobblestone paving, and the ruins of the gatehouse and the defensive towers remain.
