The second stage in Molise is of medium length and has a slight elevation gain, heading east towards the Campanian Apennines. From Bosco Mazzocca, you continue along the border between Molise and Campania with a series of ups and downs along a gently undulating ridge. After crossing the provincial road that connects Riccia to Castelpagano, you leave the ridge and climb to the slopes of Monte Saraceno before descending to the village of San Marco.
