Description of the walk

The walk starts from the "Stradone di a Furesta" (forest road), opposite the statue of Our Lady of Boulogne, and "di a casa di i pruduttori" (producers' house). You can park along the road, taking care not to obstruct traffic.

(S/E) Take the lane that goes up towards the statue of Our Lady

(1) Take the lane that goes up to the left and leads to a staircase. Return to the tarmac and continue straight ahead.

(2) Continue straight ahead and leave the path on the left.

(3) Take the smaller path on the left. Pass the Vitulo ravine and follow a few hairpin bends before arriving at a straighter section leading to a fork.

(4) Follow the path on the right, ignoring the one on the left. Do the same a hundred metres further on and you will arrive at the D963.

(5) Cross carefully and look for the continuation of the path that runs below the departmental road. You will rejoin the road.

(6) Cross it again carefully and find the path on the hill opposite. Join the district road again.

(7) Ignore it and continue straight ahead until you reach a three-way junction at the entrance to Lecciole.

(8) Keep left. Continue straight ahead at the next junction, ignoring the lane on the left that leads back to the district road.

(1) Continue straight ahead to return to the statue of Our Lady and the car park (S/E).
