Tips from the Community
A semi-abandoned stone fountain. There were also two water features, later reduced to one, and now that one has also been closed. It's no big deal, as there's another water feature a little further ahead where it intersects with the asphalt road. This site also features the first wooden sculpture, depicting a seated man.

A true table mountain! A steep climb of over 500 meters, steep in places, but worth it. Beautiful scenery, horses, cows, goats, and sheep, a huge cork oak forest – and the silence is fantastic, too, with no cars around. And a speedy descent to Truili is included.

You cross the woods for a few hundred meters surrounded by the low foliage of the plants. Beautiful passage with a smooth surface

Almost at the end of the fairytale forest path, in a sharp turn indicated by the Via Vai sign, you descend in a segment about 100 m long and you find the installation. You go back up with a stick on a fairly steep dirt climb
