The route of Sibillini trail 515
The start is in the center of Norcia, next to the Basilica of San Benedetto; for the first three kilometers the route coincides with the Cammino nelle Terre Mutate. It leaves town passing near the medieval fountain and, at km 1.2, the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where trail 511 arrives.
The route is a continuous series of hilly ups and downs: it climbs to about 765 m at km 2.7, drops to 700 m and climbs gradually to San Pellegrino, at km 8.2, where there is the Fontanile, a water trough beside the church, and where trail 572 to Monte Ventòsola starts. A kilometer and a half later it passes through Frascaro.
The last section is the most demanding: from km 10 to Nottoria it climbs about 200 m in two and a half kilometers.
