This route climbs the hills to the south of the man-made Lago del Fiastrone, then descends into the small town of Fiume at the west end of the lake, before returning along the lake shore. The majority of the climbing is undertaken in the first half hour of the walk, with the remaining distance consisting of gentle undulations, the descent back to the lake, and the relatively flat return along the shore. The paths used are well defined, and include a 2 kilometre section of ’Il Grande Anello Dei Sibillini’ (the Anello), the long distance circular path, which is clearly signed. The climbing is sometimes steep, and the stony tracks can be slippery in wet conditions. The route allows views towards the more northern Apennines, as well as of Lago del Fiastrone itself, and has the opportunity for refreshments in the bars at Fiume.
