There are many paths in the lower area that suddenly end. There are occasional markings, but often not where needed. For this reason, it would also make sense to do the route in reverse order. Then you initially walk uphill on a track without orientation problems, but further up you must be careful not to miss a right turn off the track (see track!).

Montevecchio is interesting as a "ghost town" of a former mining workers' settlementRoadbook
From a small parking area at the road (about 5km west of Montevecchio) head north onto a small step. There is a hidden information board on the right, but it is not very helpful. Continue on a path to a fork. Unfortunately, we took the right path and had a tedious search through the macchia scrub ahead. Accordingly, the recorded track is only for orientation, it is better to go west of it. However, the summit structure is visible repeatedly and is a good aid.
After leaving the macchia, the track is quite usable. In the summit area, you must be careful to stay on the right path and not get lost. Count the numbers of the Stations of the Cross on the signs!!
The lower area is less appealing. But as soon as you approach the summit structure, this changes. The further ascent through the rocks (easy climbing) is quite interesting. In the last section, there is a very charming path through a holm oak forest, passing a place of worship. To the left to a charming viewpoint, to the right to the summit cross.
