The route of trail 581 (Valle del Patino - Forca di Giuda)

It begins where the first section of trail 581, climbing from the Forca di Ancarano, ends. For the first 1.8 km the gradient is sustained but steady, around 12 percent, and the route coincides with the Sentiero Italia running from Norcia to Castelluccio. At km 1.8 the trail passes the Fonte di Patino spring, at 1,557 m, near the sources of the stream.

After the spring the Sentiero Italia branches off and trail 581 tackles the steepest section of the whole trail: about 220 m of elevation gain in seven hundred meters, up to the pass.
