A very pleasant route in the cool forest. Easy going except for a few sections where you have to climb over branches. But the rest is very nice. A great way to cool off in summer.

A lovely walk in a very peaceful area. The signs describing the flora and fauna are very well done. It's a shame that the one showing the panorama (view of the peaks around Incudine) at the highest point of the route has been damaged. Most of the route is on wide forest tracks, so don't expect a picturesque little path. Most of it is shaded, which can be nice in summer.
Shortly before the highest point of the route
(before point 2), the track is very overgrown. Don't be afraid to continue, as the path quickly clears.

At a height of 100 m, the Buja waterfall (Piscia di a Bughja) is one of the highest in Corsica. At its foot is a pool where you can cool off and relax on the rocks. If you look carefully, this waterfall can be seen from afar, especially from the road leading to the village. The long white trail it leaves on the mountain is particularly impressive in winter, when the water flows freely.Bughja (from the word Bughju: darkness).
