Routes with Different Points of Reference

On the Via di Francesco near Lonnano, there is an official route variant via Rifugio Asqua and an alternative route to the Eremo di Camaldoli. You can consider both routes side by side as different options when planning your trip if the route itself is to be an important part of your stay. The decision therefore concerns the specific course of the stage and not only your stay in the village.

An asphalt alternative route through the national park also leads through Lonnano and Casalino and reconnects with the route at Valagnesi. The asphalt surface is a separate practical feature when planning this section of the route. The connection at Valagnesi is just as much part of the route as the passage through Lonnano and Casalino. Lonnano is also located on the road from Pratovecchio to the Eremo di Camaldoli. The two directional indications, Pratovecchio and Eremo di Camaldoli, are helpful for road orientation.
