The former military mule track that connected the Barracks of Druos and the Barracks of Valscura with the Ricoveri di Fremamorta and the Ricovero Umberto I, still in excellent condition, dates back to the early twentieth century.

Hiking

A particular paved path, apparently built at the beginning of the twentieth century, perfectly fitting stone blocks, and with painstaking work they built this road hundreds of meters long

Hiking

Entirely rocky paths, most have been prepared manually (we often distinguish a "road" of stones), this makes the setting very "Roman adventure of BC"
