Leaving Gottasecca, continuing towards Saliceto you arrive at the suggestive clearing of the sanctuary, a truly beautiful place, ideal for stopping and for refilling with water (there is a fountain near the church). The area is surrounded by greenery, pleasant because it is secluded, shaded and quiet, it is also an important crossroads of paths, both coming from Gottasecca (some of Gottasecca's "mountain bricks" reach here), and heading towards Camerana. Others start from here and descend towards the Uzzone valley or, keeping parallel to the ridge, end up above Saliceto. the track that I followed is precisely a forest track, quite well maintained, which with some ups and downs leads to the vertical of Saliceto, to then continue, going up a stretch, up to above Cengio. The only contraindication when it has rained recently... there is a lot of mud!
