Official eight-stage loop Grosseto–Grosseto. Stage two can be split at Sticciano Scalo. Distances and elevations come from the operator’s pages, not the ZIP wrongly linked by the Ministry catalogue. The Ministry ZIP linked to Padre Giovanni actually belongs to Cammino di San Michele and other regions. Do not navigate Maremma with it; download tracks from the eight Diocese of Grosseto stage pages.

Verified information for this route

The operator says logo signs are still being installed: carry updated tracks.
