There is currently no bridge here, but the river can be crossed quite easily barefoot at this point (the water is knee-deep).

The bridge makes it easy to cross the river. From here you can climb to the north exit or turn off into the Calcinara valley.

Still no bridge. But there are two options: 1. Wait barefoot across the river. 2. A little further down the river, someone has built a makeshift crossing out of stones, reeds, and a tree trunk. Both options are marked on the map. With my waterproof shoes and a bit of scrambling, I managed to cross dry-footed using option 2.

In any case, after the river, take the upper path marked on the map. The lower path is overgrown. There's a trail at the beginning. Further on, however, you'll have to fight your way through thistles.
