Then you’ll arrive to the Sacred Spring (1159 meters altitude) from which you’ll walk through the steep but short path to the Romanesque church of S. Maria in Pantano (8th century aD) one of the most ancient of this period. This tour covers a little part of the ancient reapers path, which linked the Aso valley to the Castelluccio highplane crossing Vallegrascia, Colle Galluccio and Forca di Presta. This historical path was used by farmers who emigrated on a seasonal bases during the period of reaping, from Marches region hillside towards the Tyrrenic area countryside.
