Starting from the village of Poggio on the left side of the Bar. The path climbs up into an area with several shrubs, at the top there is an interesting view of the Trave.

Go left along an area overlooking the sea where you will find examples of Mediterranean plants and arrive on a wider road with a characteristic observation point: The South Belvedere with a view of the Two Sisters rocks. Continuing you descend into an area with houses and then take the municipal road to Fonte d'Olio and then you arrive at the provincial road.
