Sambuci. Trekking along the models path

Sambuci is in a valley between the Prenestini Mountains and the Ruffi Mountains with many excursions, even daily, that can be done. Crossing the Ruffi Mountains you can take a route that passes through Anticoli Corrado and Sambuci. In part, this route follows the ancient models’ trekking - sentiero delle modelle, that of the flower girls who went to bring flowers under the Spanish Steps in Rome and who were taken as 'models' by the painters of nearby Via Margutta.

In winter you can admire the small waterfalls formed by Fosso Sambucaro.

Another path of particular beauty is the one that passes through Saracinesco and arrives at the summit of Costasola Mount at 1253 metres, the highest of the Ruffi Mountains.
