Attempted the Castagnu ring but the path is lost and impassable!

The climb was a bit difficult, unfortunately quite steep and with shaky ground: I called this route: Sentiero Barney Geröllheimer.

I recommend taking advantage of the excellent restaurant/bar service managed by the Castelvecchio proloco next to the church, open from Tuesday to Sunday in the period from mid-June to mid-September and on weekends in the rest of the year.
Possibility to recharge e-bikes.
