Beautiful connecting trail between the Cima del Monte and the antenna mountain

Perhaps the most beautiful and difficult trail on the island. It starts with a long climb on even rough surfaces which, a few dozen meters from the top, becomes practically impassable even with an ebike.

Passing past the radio installations, you begin to descend on an exposed broken path for about 200m, then you turn right to go along the northern side of the peak on a narrow, counter-sloping and sometimes broken passage to arrive at a part of the shepherd's trail, which it leads into the woods and represents the most flowing part of the entire trail. The bottom here is still good: a mix of leaves, sandy clay and some loose stones. Once you reach the crossroads with the blue boar trail, go left to continue on the local hole of the bandit and here begins a very treacherous stretch among the trees with steep slopes, compressions, counterslope curves and exposed roots/rocks, all on a sandy and with very little grip.

Finally, after leaving the woods, you go through the last fairly smooth part with some technical passages and a wooden bridge to be done manually to celebrate the descent, but above all (I hope) your physical integrity!

Nice to see it impossible to do, a background of breccia which gives neither stability nor braking.
