Wake up to the scent of cypress trees and start walking. After just a few kilometers, you’re already surrounded by rolling Tuscan hills, tiny villages, and Roman roads that whisper stories. This is no lazy stroll. You’ll be clocking 6+ hours of hiking a day, conquering trails that demand your full attention, including stretches rated T3. The views? Worth every step.
This 5-day trip covers the first section of the Via degli Dei, from Bologna to Bruscoli. You’ll hike through the Apennines with overnight stays in Sasso Marconi, Monzuno, and Bruscoli. Expect proper trekking days — nothing fluffy here. We’ll take care of your stays before and after in Bologna, so all you have to do is bring your hiking legs.
