The route of trail 251F

The trail starts about a hundred meters from the church of Sant'Andrea in Calcina. The gradient is steepest at the start, 175 m of elevation gain in the first kilometer, then eases for a while: between km 1 and km 1.5 the trail gains only some thirty meters.

In this area, about 300 meters from the route, is the Eremo della Madonna di Valpovera hermitage.

Beyond km 1.5 the climb resumes steeply and does not let up until the top. At km 2.9, at 1,130 m, the trail passes the Fonte Troccola spring, twenty meters from the trail: it is the last water. The last kilometer leads from 1,130 to 1,246 m at the end point, on the flank of Monte di Campalto (1,241 m).
