Corigliano Calabro → Rossano

Stage information

Difficulty: challenging. Difficulty recorded in the catalogue.

28 km from Corigliano Calabro to Rossano. You follow the old track the people of Corigliano walked to the Madonna del Patire, cross the Cino stream and climb to the Abbey of Santa Maria del Patire, a Basilian complex from the 11th century. Holm oaks, old olive groves and orange gardens then lead you through the Gate of Water to the Cathedral of Maria Santissima Achiropita. Heads up: between km 9 and 11 the descent is rutted and overgrown, so it suits experienced walkers or a guide.
