The route of trail 457

The starting junction is on the main trail, about one kilometer from the Monumento dei Caduti of Colle San Marco, the war memorial; those climbing on variant 456 do not come across it. From here the trail descends all the way: 145 m in all, with no steep sections, at an average gradient of around 11 percent. Halfway along, less than a hundred meters from the trail, there are ruins called "Caciara"; others, with the same name, are further on and a little further away.

The trail reaches the junction with trail 458 at about 715 m. The hamlet of Colle is just below, less than 200 meters away.

Trail 457 technical details

Walked the other way, from Colle, trail 457 is a climb of about 150 m.

Trail 457 map

On its own trail 457 is short, but it makes it possible to close a loop. From the Colle junction, trail 458 climbs back toward Giammatura; two thirds of the way up, trail 473 branches off and in less than half a kilometer reaches Monte Vena Rossa, passing the Grotta della Margherita cave. On Monte Vena Rossa hikers rejoin the Sentiero della Memoria, which leads back to the point where trail 457 started.
