Il Cammino di San Francesco di Paola

Embark on a journey through the serene landscapes and historical milestones of Calabria with Il Cammino di San Francesco di Paola. Integrating nature with the story of the revered hermit, this platform guides you along two meticulously charted routes, enveloping you in an immersive experience reflective of Saint Francis of Paola's life.

Opt for the 49.0 km 'La Via del Giovane,' comprised of three stages, or the slightly more extended 'La Via dell'Eremita,' which spans 62.7 km, also segmented into three parts. As you traverse these paths, it becomes an indispensable companion, indicating your current location with precision and highlighting points of interest in proximity.

Simplifying navigation, it presents clear directions, accessible rest areas, and potable water locations. Engage with real-time updates on distances covered and remaining, estimated travel time, and your current altitude throughout your pilgrimage.

Each milestone along your journey is not just a historical marker but a narrative opportunity, detailing episodes of the saint's life as illustrated on beautifully painted majolica tiles at these points.

For each stage, there's a provided Roadbook, essentially your personal travel journal, complete with a detailed list of milestones, distance markers from the sanctuary, predicted journey times, and altitude readings. Delve deeper into the history with stories associated with each majolica represented milestone.

In addition, the app includes options for off-course deviations for those moments when exploration calls, guiding you to additional sites of interest, rest areas, or water sources, and mapping out the path with geolocated milestones and water sources.
