Rather challenging but equally beautiful stretch, with both uphill and downhill slopes (depending on the direction of travel) to which it is worth paying particular attention. In the past it was used as a logging route. The path passes through a dense component of holm oak that descends until it reaches and joins the stretch of path 5d which then leads towards the centuries-old Ieccio.
