The route has modest ups and downs through fields and woods, mostly on paved roads, until the long climb through Vetralla, Pietrara and Vico Martino. After a flat section, a long descent begins to the delightful village of Capranica and Sutri, a half-unknown gem along the Francigena, with its Amphitheater carved into the tuff, the Mitreo and the beautiful historic center.
Water and refreshment points only in Vetralla and Capranica.
