It is the land of Saint Clare, Saint Francis and Pinturicchio, of picturesque medieval villages and naturalistic areas such as the Monti Sibillini National Park: this is Umbria, a lush land that represents Italy's green lung and provides the backdrop for routes that allow everyone to discover the region's most authentic and unspoilt soul. The Cammino dei Borghi Silenti is among these. 

The Cammino dei Borghi Silenti is a ring-route that, for about 91 km, starts from the village of Tenaglie and returns to it: it crosses the slopes of the Amerini Mountains, in south-west Umbria, an area set between the Tiber and Nera rivers. It winds its way through holm oak, hornbeam, maple, oak and chestnut groves along mountain paths, dirt tracks and small paved sections, in the shadow of the 1000 metre-high Croce di Serra.
