Embark on the Capuchin Way - Stage 1: Furlo Gorge, a moderate hike that takes you through diverse landscapes. You will traverse dense forests and open areas, offering impressive views of the Gola del Furlo gorge. The route covers 4.7 miles (7.6 km) with an elevation gain of 1771 feet (540 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 56 minutes to complete. As you hike, you will see rocky cliffs, green meadows, and the emerald waters of the Candigliano River below. The panoramic perspective from the Terrazza del Furlo is a true highlight, providing an unparalleled view of the deep canyon and surrounding Apennine mountains.
When planning your visit, be aware that some parts of the trail are steep. You might encounter loose rocks or tree roots, particularly after rainfall, so sure-footedness is important. Sturdy hiking shoes are highly recommended to ensure your safety and comfort on the path. Access to the trailhead is straightforward, as parking is generally available near the starting point. This makes it easy to begin your adventure into the gorge.
