Valfabbrica

Two footsteps in the uncontaminated nature of Valfabbrica on the traces of the ancient path of St. Francis

It passes really for Valfabbrica that path that St. Francis followed, leaving Assisi in 1206, to reach Gubbio to the service of the lepers. The legend tells that in the outskirts he was attacked by a gang of brigands, and he was sheltered in the Benedictine abbey of Valfabbrica. The Franciscan Path of the Peace connects therefore Gubbio to Assisi, passing for Valfabbrica, and it is long around 46 kilometres. Along the path can be relived the mystical and spiritual experience that various times accompanied St. Francis in its frequent trips to Gubbio. The emotion is guaranteed, and among woods, old churches and abbeys, throw us in a rare atmosphere of other times and other places.
