Map 7 tracts ABC

Anghiari, Montemercole, Gello e Castello di Galbino

total 25 Km .

duration approx 2.5 - 3.5 hrs

This route is beautifu, varied, demanding on the uphill slopes. the terrain is not always in good condition in case of heavy rains

A (2 Km)

from Anghiari, near the Campo alla Fiera (easy to find it is a zone with gardens and car parks, it is better if you ask someone for directions, everyone knows the point) you must take the road that descends between the houses on the opposite side of the landscape that looks down on Sansepolcro. After 1 km of downhill you will arrive at a fork.

B (9 Km)

we take the right tarred road for about 1km of a false platen (plain). After which we will see a dirt road (quite broad) which climbs decisively on the right. Jacking this road we will have 300mt of  road climb in front of us though curves and meadows We will then arrive at the first ridge whit a beautiful landscape below where  we must deviate left. After some time we will arrive at a few slopes that are brief but very difficult also for the state of terrain. At last we will reach a small hamlet whit fountain etc... and continuing on we will arrive on the crest of Montemercole  which is substantially level. When we see a deviatio0n on the left in the shape of a dirt road we will have reached the end of tract B.

C (14 Km)

from hereon there is 3 km without uphill work, through woods and wonderful landscape. the terrain is perfect although a dirt path. We then find a tarred road and just after 50m an elbow turn on the right. take this route and we will enter a wood downhill until we reach the church of Gello which deserves a Halt. Just before arriving at the church, along the dirt path, you will have noticed  downhill path to the left, its the only one possible so we will descend by this path. After about 1 km we will arrive at some houses on either side from where you can see the beautiful Galbino castle. Further on we will descend until we cross the road that links Anghiari to Arezzo. turn right and after a long tract of level road we will climb up with some difficulty until we reach Anghiari. Once arrived at the top, turning right we will enter into this historic town and further on at Campo alla Fiera from where we started.
