Towards the Eremo di Fonte Avellana

This excursion by car to see the hermitages around Fonte Avellana will take a full day. [This route needs checking]

Take SS 298 from the Porta Metaura along the Gola di Bottaccione towards Scheggia see Walk II).  The road follows the River Camignano, with the aqueduct (14th century) on the right.  This aqueduct still carries water down to the valley from the reservoir (14th century) at Bottaccione.  At Scheggia, continue along SS 360 [along the gorge that the Romans cut through the rock] towards Sassoferrata.
