11 km from Nocara to Oriolo, along the watershed between Calabria and Basilicata, on old tracks the monks used between their convents. Trees shade the high part near Colle San Marco, then you drop through wheat fields and pastures to Oriolo, where the Chiesa Madre di San Giorgio and the Norman castle sit on a sandstone spur.
