The walk starts from the parking area in the historical dei Conservoni area right by the building with the “Conserva delle vene”.
Leave the Conservoni street towards the right (sent. 401a) onto a paved road upwards towards a housetower called La Perotta. The paved road continues for about 400 mt and then becomes a gravel road. On the left there is an ancient and picturesque drinking trough under a centuries old oak tree.
A short distance further, again to the left, there is a stone structure closed with a rusty metal sign that indicates we are in an area rich with water and near to the age old Cunicolo della Barigiana water canal which goes for 560 meters and was carved in the Middle Ages to collect and channel the water coming from the streams of Monte Pacciano. Further along you reach Casale Cipoletta, a restructured rural house surrounded by a wooden fence. Keeping it to your left you will enter into a thickly grown area and after 200 meters take a left onto the steep gravel trail that will take you to the crest of Monte Pacciano.
The top, which is called Posto Bello “Lovely Place” was given this name because of it’s magnificent views, from here jou can see a part of the Apennines, the Middle Tiber Valley, Monte Subasio and all of Perugia. Closer in you can see Montenero, Montebagnolo, and Montelaguar-dia and off to the right Perugia again, which lays before you in all of her mediaeval splendour rising up between the surrounding green hills. Walk along the crest until you enter a woods. The road becomes a narrow picturesque trail which softly descends.
You will pass a recently built water tank and continue on until you reach a fork in the road which you take to the left (a sharp turn) of the fence (sent. 401). A bit further on you will once again join the main trail continuing right and downhill. This takes you down to the asphalt road which goes from Montelaguardia towards Valbiancara. Once here about an hour will have passed since you began your walk. Proceed left in the direction of Valbiancara.
At this point you are at the divide with Monte Tezio which rises majestically dominating the valley below. Pass alongside the Santa Croce di Monte Bagnolo buildings and continue until you reach the first fork in the road and take it to the left over a dirt road towards the Podere Rubbiana (sent. 401c). A bit further on there is s curve which you take down towards the left on a path which takes you into the woods. Follow it along until the panorama opens up again and you are above the San Lorenzo della Rabatta church. Before actually reaching the church turn upwards to the left towards the Rabatta cemetery on a paved road, following the signs to S. Orfeto. About two hours will have gone by since you began your walk. Continue ascending until you reach another fork.
Stay to your left again and turn back into the more thickly overgrown area on a relatively wide but rough path. You will reach the Usurea farm, pass it and continue on the gravel road returning to the aqueduct. Pass the entrance to the Cerrini tunnel and conitnue above the aqueduct itself. Once again you will meet up with the S. Orfeto road (sent. 401) and go to the exit of the tunnel. From here continue in the woods following the recently restored path that takes you to Conservone Nuovo. Do not forget to admire the two little bridges of the Cerrini tunnel. Once at the Conservone turn left along the fencing until you get to the entrance.
Here you can take the paved road down which, after a few dozen meters, leads you to the parking lot where you left your car. We do, however, recommend you go to see the very interesting mediaeval Conservone Vecchio, just a few
