Starting from the Belvedere del Faito (1034m) on trail 350, you will reach Castellone and continue on trail 350/300 until you reach the Molare-Conocchia junction (1380m). Here, turn right towards Conocchia and follow the trail marker 300 until you reach the Croce della Conocchia (1377m). From there, descend steeply along a zig-zag path of stone steps until you arrive at the Forest Service Station (763m), where a short break is planned. From the Forest Service Station, turn right and walk the last stretch of the ancient Path of the Gods, now called the Angel's Path, towards Santa Maria del Castello (685m) until you intersect the road. After a refreshing pause, continue towards Punta Calabrice and Monte Comune with a long but steady ascent, first crossing the junction with trail 333 to Positano and then with trail 333A towards the Monte Purtuso junction. Upon reaching the summit of Monte Comune (877m), take a pleasant break to admire the wonderful view. Then continue by following the signs, staying close to the fence, and then along the ridge of the southern slope of the ridge until you reach the saddle of Cesina or Sella di Arola (544m) where you intersect trail 342 to Arola. From here, climb one last stretch towards Monte Vico Alvano or Montagna del Principe (642m) to reach the large iron cross. Finally, descend towards Palazzo Colonna and the Colli di San Pietro (310m) for dinner at the pizzeria Zio Sam and spend the night at the B&B Due Sirene. WATER POINTS: Acqua Santa and Santa Maria del Castello.
