Tree Walks in Assisi

Assisi has 2 walks that string its ancient trees together on foot, from 1.4 km to 2.61 km, past 6 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.

The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.

Eremo delle Carceri

3 trees · about 1.4 km · 19 min on foot

Begins at The Second Holm Oak of the Eremo (Holm Oak (Quercus ilex)) and ends at The Hawthorn of Vallonica.

Assisi walk

Begins at The Downy Oak of Porta Cappuccini (Downy Oak (Quercus pubescens)) and ends at The Oak of Via di Valecchie.
