The Credential
How does it work
Purchase your Credential at distribution points or request it online with delivery directly to your home.
​
During the journey, go to the accredited structures to receive the stamp on your "passport": if you get at least 5 (if you travel on foot) or 3 (if you travel by mtb) you can collect the official gadget at your arrival.
​
The Via degli Dei is not a religious journey and for this reason the credential is not a pilgrimage document. However, it is equally important for this trek: in addition to the small contribution that you leave to the area that hosts you and which is reinvested to improve services, you will provide data managers on which to improve the offer for future walkers!

Your registration is very important to us!
We will only steal two minutes but you will give us the opportunity to improve the services of the Via degli Dei because we will be able to record and analyze the geographical and personal data of walkers (in total respect of your privacy) and always have under control, in the Covid era, who it is on the path to ensuring the safety of all.
Also, do not forget to do so to be able to collect the official and exclusive gadget that we want to give you upon your arrival!

Hiking guides
Leaving prepared is essential to fully enjoy all that this trip can offer.
Here are some hiking guides on the way that can be found in various bookstores and also online and which tell, step by step, what is the route from Bologna to Florence (or vice versa).
We recommend combining them with the 1: 25,000 scale hiking map to have an increasingly complete view of the route.
