A shorter and less demanding version of the full journey, yet it does not compromise on showcasing the beauty and history of this region-a captivating route seldom frequented by the traditional tourist circuits. Guided by the footsteps of Saint Valentine, the saint of Terni, the universal saint of love and passion.

1st Day: From Terni to Stroncone
Starting from the Basilica of San Valentino located on the outskirts of the city, immediately bordering a hilly area, so the route climbs immediately into the greenery (first among olive trees and then into the woods), then you will encounter the fascinating ruins of the Abbey of San Benedetto in Fundis (km 8.1), immersed in vegetation, and then the monastery of San Simeone, reconstructed and inhabited by the lively community of the "Reconstructors" (km 10.2), to finally lead you to the Franciscan convent of Beato Antonio Vici, at the gates of Stroncone, a village still intact in its medieval structure and architecture. (Distance: 12.92 km; Duration: 4 hours)

2nd Day: From Stroncone to Marmore
Leaving the village of Stroncone, the path follows entirely the beautiful Franciscan Trail in the woods, along which you will find the chapel of Madonna del Tresto and various traces of the passage of Saint Francis and Saint Bernardino. The path climbs up to reach the mountain meadows of the locality "I Prati" at 900 meters above sea level (km 8.2); from here, the route continues among chestnut groves before descending, in the last stretch, towards the town of Marmore, where you can visit the famous Waterfall. (Distance: 23.12 km; Duration: 7 hours)

3rd Day: From Marmore to Precetto
The first part of this stage winds along the quiet banks of the Velino river and the suggestive lake of Piediluco, nestled in the greenery of the mountains. Always staying by the lake, you cross the picturesque village of Piediluco (km 6), then gently climb up to the pass that connects the Rieti plain with the Nera river valley. Along the subsequent descent, you reach the hermitage of Madonna dello Scoglio (km 13.7), in a panoramic position, and continue towards the bottom of the Valnerina valley, skirting the splendid villages of Casteldilago and Arrone (km 18). In the last stretch of the stage, you walk along the pleasant Greenway of the Nera, along the riverbank, which leads to the square of Precetto. (Distance: 23.40 km; Duration: 5 hours)
