The route will start from Chiudi della Verna. Following ancient paths in the heart of the Casentino Forests National Park to La Verna, the “mountain of the miracle” chosen by Francis of Assisi in 1213. A certified environmental hiking guide accompanies you among centuries-old beech and silver fir trees, telling you about the medicinal flora, the mushrooms of the undergrowth, and the wild animals that inhabit one of Italy's best-preserved forests — from the Apennine wolf to the black woodpecker. The history of the sanctuary and Franciscan spirituality are intertwined with all of this. Suited to those who want to combine trekking, nature, and silence. It is also a fascinating place from a photographic point of view, and you will receive advice on this.
