The hike from Rubiano to the Eremo di San Leonardo al Volubrio is a moderate 6.8-mile (10.9 km) journey with 1132 feet (345 metres) of elevation gain, taking about 3 hours and 33 minutes to complete. You will start on varied terrain, including paved roads and unpaved paths, leading to the small waterfalls of Pisciarelle. The route then takes you through the impressive Gole dell'Infernaccio, a narrow gorge with sheer rock walls. As you climb, you enter a dense forest filled with yews, maples, and beech trees, offering a deep immersion in nature. The hermitage itself sits at 1128 meters above sea level, providing panoramic views. This trail is generally considered moderate, requiring good physical fitness and sure-footedness. Some parts of the trail involve a steeper ascent after the gorge. You will find the path to the hermitage was restored and reopened in 2018, ensuring access to this historic site. The hermitage structure has also been secured following past damage, making it a safe destination for your visit. For those who wish to extend their adventure, the hidden Rio waterfall is also accessible nearby. The primary destination, the Eremo di San Leonardo al Volubrio, is an ancient monastery beautifully restored by Padre Pietro Lavini, a Cappuccino friar who dedicated 40 years to its rebuilding. This spiritual site attracts not only hikers but also pilgrims seeking peace and solace. The journey through the Gole dell'Infernaccio is considered one of the most captivating excursions in the Monti Sibillini, making this route a notable experience in the region.
