Embark on a moderate hike from Monte Fumaiolo, covering 8.0 miles (12.9 km) with an elevation gain of 1771 feet (540 metres). This route typically takes around 4 hours and 25 minutes to complete. You will traverse ancient beech forests and open meadows, enjoying the changing scenery. The trail leads you to Monte Aquilone, where you can take in expansive 360-degree views of the Apennine ridges. Further along, you will find the tranquil Eremo di Sant'Alberico, a historic hermitage nestled in a deep gorge. The path continues through varied woodland and open terrain, eventually bringing you to the source of the Tevere River, marked by a distinctive travertine stone.
To begin your adventure, head to Balze, where you will find parking available near the Monte Fumaiolo hotel. This trail is best enjoyed with sturdy hiking boots, as the terrain can be mixed. Remember to pack layers of clothing, as elevations change along the route, leading to varying temperatures. The trail is well-marked, following official CAI trails 125 and 106, making navigation straightforward. Plan your visit during favorable weather conditions to fully appreciate the views and historical sites.
This route offers a unique blend of natural beauty and rich history within the Emilia-Romagna Apennines. You will discover the sacred source of the Tevere River, a spring that feeds the river flowing through Rome, commemorated by a special stone. Don't miss the nearby Cascata del Tevere waterfall, a hidden gem tucked away in the forest. For a well-deserved break and local dishes, Rifugio Lo Scoiattolo is conveniently located right where Italy's most famous river begins its journey.
