The route is simple and suitable for everyone with a minimum slope, and overcoming in fact the first and only uphill stretch, you walk in tranquility along an almost flat path along a suggestive undergrowth rich in history that is divided between historical activities such as mining and woodland logging. The walk changes in its final part in which you enter the beauty of the underground karst giving us the crossing of one of the three longest walkable caves in the world. As in the rest of the walk, no excessive effort is required for the crossing of the site that develops in a single level and does not involve climbs or descents to lower levels of the subsoil
