The red color is assigned to the trail n°4. The path is ring and is marked with directional green and light blue arrows. The trail starts from the main car park of Colle di Buggiano, where you can park for free.

From the car park you go up the ancient paved road leading to the medieval village and in a few minutes you reach the main square outside the walls, where you can admire the Romanesque Church of S.Lorenzo. From the square through the door you walk through the small village, let yourself be inspired by the small streets that you will encounter will take you all to the exit.

When you reach the north gate, you leave the village behind and following the arrows you arrive at the provincial road to the locality Margine dei Ferri. Going to the left and then immediately to the right continue to Le Poiane, proceed walking next to the river Cessana between oaks and chestnut trees until you reach the ruin of an ancient nineteenth-century powder keg.

The country’s elders say that during World War II all gunpowder was hidden under this bridge.
