It can be reached either from Ofantina, from the Sant'Angelo - Industrial Area junction there is a fast-flowing road, or from the state road that connects Lioni to Sant'Angelo or Torella d.L. If you choose, coming from Lioni, the junction for Nusco-Bagnoli (turn left immediately before the petrol station) there are roads with little traffic and with the scenic complex of the Picentini mountains on the left.
