Following the previous itinerary, at Castel San Pietro we turn to Elcito, a small village on a rocky spur with a legendary history, once a castle defending the Abbey of Vallefucina. We then reach the spectacular beech woods of Canfaito, and the natural balcony with a view of the mountains and the Esino valley, before descending to Matelica.
