You continue along a stretch of the provincial road towards Roccaverano, then you leave it to climb along a ridge to the right and then you go on until you come back onto the provincial road which you cross and then continue along the forest road to your left. The route, which runs through chestnut woods, is often muddy and leads to a short stretch across the meadows. Once past the stretch, the route climbs up again to the ridge where there is an aqueduct depot.
The small road becomes a path that runs through a field, then becomes a mule track that leads downhill to an aqueduct depot. Next, the route continues along the asphalted road to reach a small stone church and here it joins the provincial road that leads to Olmo Gentile.
