Together with Nature of Sal (@natureofsal) we bring you the best experiences for nature lovers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts!

Important: Due to the challenging nature of this hike, we only accept experienced hikers for this walk.

Join us on a pilgrimage along leg 8 of the “Francigena del Sud”, a lesser-known and still not very touristy walk, which was used by pilgrims to make their way on foot from Rome to Jerusalem (via a ship from Puglia).

You can expect a very diverse hiking experience, ranging from Dutch-like canals, rugged, mountainous terrain, forest, possible animal encounters (e.g. free-roaming horses) and stunning views of both the lake of Fondi, and the sea.

Where: M. San Biagio – Terracina Mare Station (the exact meeting point will be announced after confirmation)
When: Saturday, March 9 @9.00
Duration: about 5.5 hours (the exact time varies, depending on the weather conditions and participants)
Cost: Full price: 35€ – 30% discount for Expat members (read below) – train and bus ticket not included. We suggest taking the train from Termini to M. San Biagio. Once we hiked to Terracina, we will take one of the regular Cotral busses back to the train station.

The maximum amount of participants is limited to: 6
