The National Urban Trekking Day is celebrated every year on the 31st of October. It is an initiative promoted at the national level with the aim of raising awareness among citizens and visitors about the importance of sustainable and accessible tourism. During this day, participating cities offer thematic walking routes that guide participants in discovering the historical, artistic, and landscape heritage of the urban environment.
The meeting point in Conegliano is on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. for a walking path in the city "In the Footsteps of Saint Francis".
Starting from the location of the IAT Office in Conegliano at Viale Carducci 20, the itinerary will weave through the streets of the historical center until reaching the summit of Colle di Giano.
On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi, this year, while retracing the streets of the city, we will seek the evocative places linked to the presence of Franciscanism in Conegliano: the site where the convent of the Poor Clares once stood, what remains of the convent of the Zoccolanti friars, the convent of the Conventual Franciscans, the various places where the community of Capuchin friars settled, as well as the artworks representing Saint Francis of Assisi, created by illustrious painters such as Cima da Conegliano and Francesco Beccaruzzi.
The trekking will conclude with a toast in the garden of the Castle.
Reservation is mandatory until all places are filled, starting from October 5. A participation fee will be required.
