    Magnifico percorso ad anello che unisce panorami mozzafiato a momenti di refrigerio all'ombra della splendida macchia mediterranea. Le indicazioni dell'articolo sono molto chiare e il percorso non è provante. Abbiamo fatto l'escursione a maggio, periodo perfetto per clima e frequentazione (non era molto affollato, se non in alcuni punti clou quali alcuni scorci panoramici e l'abbadia camaldolese). Consigliatissimo

    bella escursione con panorami mozzafiato, fattibile anche da famiglie. Solo un punto per accorciare era un po' ripido. Vari particolari da vedere come le incisioni rupestri e la grotta del Mortarolo, fonte d'olio,
