The route starts at the information board. Start off facing the board and follow the road straight in front of you, which is lined with houses on both sides. At the first fork, turn left. Meander through the hamlet of Fortes and, at the next fork, take the path on the right, taking you down to the main road. You will find a sign signalling Point 1. Cross the road and continue down the dirt track.
Take the path on the right and make your way carefully up the hill. Keep going straight ahead along the main track, ignoring the path you will come across to your left. Keep going until you reach Point 2, where you will need to go around an olive tree in order to follow the path to the left. A downhill stretch will take you towards a stream, which you will have to cross. Next, follow the path on the left until you reach a fork in the road and take the main road, straight ahead, which starts sloping downhill. Look down and to the right to spot Zimbro Gorge. Keep walking until you see two paths leading off to the left. Make sure you take the second path, which is the one heading downhill. Continue along the main path, with the stream to your right. Cross a small ravine and follow the path ahead that runs parallel to the stream. At the next fork, veer left, away from the stream.
Meanwhile, on your left, as soon as you pass a trail, make sure to look out for a threshing floor in the hamlet of Fortes. Once you’ve passed the threshing floor, take the first path on the left, heading towards Fortes. You are now nearing the end of your route and will reach the stream. Go up to the village, following the path on the left, and you’ll find yourself back at the starting point.
