September 27, 2023,Franziskusweg: Via del Nord - Tappa da Sansepolcro a Selci Lama
According to legend, Sansepolcro was founded by two pilgrim saints, Arcanus and Aegidius, who, returning from the Holy Land, stopped in this valley to build a small chapel to house the relics from Christ's tomb. Over the years, the cathedral dedicated to St. John and the place called “del Santo Sepilcro” (of the Holy Sepulchre) were built around this chapel. …

September 12, 2023,8 Sansepolcro - Selci-Lama
Today I'm almost too tired to write. Just briefly: the town of Selci-Lama is not worth a trip. There is only one pizzeria, which was very stylishly located in a church, but it was closed. In this case, only two bars with chips and sweets remain. There is no old town, but there are bumpy streets and no sidewalks. Sansepolcro …

"For gratitude for the light, the power of the sun" (part of the Franciscan prayer). Very appropriate this morning because we left in the sun. Lovely. Yesterday and this morning we walked through the centre of Sansepolcro. We stayed at Locanda Guidi. Fantastic restaurant with even better wines. And such a lovely old building completely converted into a B and …

From Sansepolcro the path first takes us past the church of San Francesco, which we already know from our hike yesterday. Now we first go down into the valley to San Martino before the actual climb to the Montecasale monastery begins. The monastery was one of St. Francis' favorite places. In 1531 the Capuchins took over the monastery. You can …

Beautiful weather for the start up to the Montecasale monastery, the highlight of today's journey was a beautiful stream with many waterfalls in a wooded, narrow, steep valley climb.

Today we started our hike from Sansepolcro to San Giustino in beautiful sunshine.
Initially, there was a small climb.
The route then led us through a forest. A mountain stream ran parallel to it, cascading over countless waterfalls. The highlight of this climb was the numerous beautiful waterfalls.
Once we reached the pass, a long descent down a rocky path …
