The itinerary leaves at 550 meters, at the barrier placed along the forest road, which was an asphalt road in the past and today is a dirt road with long stretches where the old roadbed is still evident.
After about 1 km of uphill trail (595 meters of altitude) you will get to a spring, where you can stock up on abundant and fresh spring water. Go ahead along the uphill trail on the left, towards Acqua Donzella, which leads, after about 1.1 km, to the crossroads with the forest road leading to Casa dei Guardiani.
