Faedis castle loop

From the parking lot to the center of the village of Faedis, proceed for about six hundred meters along Via dei Castelli towards Canebola until you find the start of the actual path, indicated by specific signage. From this point, the ascent begins, with an elevation gain of about two hundred meters and a length of about one and a half kilometers. Both castles are located right along the ascent, respectively at 299 and 357 meters above sea level.

After passing the second castle, the path descends steeply for a few meters and reaches a fork, the first of a series of three: you will continue to the right. You will do the same at the next fork, after a few dozen meters. At the third fork, instead, you will continue to the left and follow the entire ridge of the hill before beginning the descent that, after leading you to a medieval chapel dedicated to San Rocco, will bring you back to the parking lot.

Like all the foothill paths at such low altitudes, the Faedis castle loop is at its best in February and March, when the following conditions occur:

-it is not yet warm

-the vegetation is still limited

-spring flowers such as crocuses, lungwort, primroses, etc. bloom

During this period, for gathering wild garlic along the path, it is strongly recommended to pay attention to the presence of colchicum, which is highly toxic.
