The Route of Trail 590

There is a drinking water point at the start in Collescille. After half a kilometer the trail passes the ruins of the Torre di Collescille tower; at km 1.1 the church of San Fiorenzo is about 160 meters from the path.

The climb is steady for the whole first part, about 300 m in two kilometers, then it eases. From km 2.5 trail 590 joins trail 589 and climbs with it to about 1,375 m, at km 4.2, below Monte Moricone. The last seven hundred meters descend about sixty meters to Monte Argentiera.

Trail 590 Technical Data

Beyond Collescille there are no water points along the route.

Trail 590 is one of the trails of the Park's E12 hiking route, «La natura sulla porta di casa» («Nature on the doorstep»), the 13.4 km loop with 920 m of elevation gain that runs from Preci via Saccovescio and Collescille: 4 hours and 10 minutes, graded E.

Trail 590 Map and Connections

Collescille is the end point of trail 585B, the short connector that climbs from the area of the Abbazia di Sant'Eutizio. For the E12, the Park points to the abbey as a detour worth making: for centuries it was the heart of life and culture in this area.
