From the square at the bell tower of Sedilis, where parking is possible next to the paved road that leads to the Julia lighthouse and the fort, a cement road leads to the climb on the southern slope of M. Pocivalo. Shortly after, the cement road becomes a path climbing rather steeply the slope among bushes and small clearings, passing the remains of some isolated buildings. After a strenuous stretch, near two rustic buildings, continue between them to reach the paved road at a short distance. Now go right for a short asphalt stretch and then follow the dirt road which, always on the right, leads with gentler slopes among the karst plateaus of M. Pocivalo, passing 2 First World War buildings, finally reaching the mountain cannon battery at the summit of Pocivalo (792m). At the end of the loop, the return path arrives exactly at this point.
Continuing northwest, we now head to the Bernadia fort and Mount Lonza, passing through a continuous up-and-down area rich in sinkholes and rocks eroded by weather. The path leads to the wide square of the fort. Resuming the walk, we now descend towards Villanova delle Grotte following the paved road that starts right next to the fort and, followed for a long time with a gentle constant descent, leads to the houses of this small village.
Once reached the village, turn right along a road that will take you through the center of the village, reaching a paved path under the bell tower turning right, equipped with street lamps. This path leads to the square of the Villanova Caves Visitor Center.
Resuming the path, still descending, now aim for the village of Vigant, traveling a very little trafficked paved road, surrounded by woods in this area. At the sign indicating the Abisso Vigant, descend along a path near the modest stream and follow it up to the stone portal of the Vigant abyss.
Continuing beyond the wooden bridge and following the white-red markers (route D), you travel a long stretch of trail climbing steadily the slope up to the settlement of Borgo di Mezzo. From the village, exit along the paved road now descending again, turning right shortly after for the uninhabited bordo di Tamar, where near the last house the route becomes a path again and climbs now more steeply the woods of M. Pocivalo leading back to the aforementioned cannon battery.
From the Pocivalo cannon battery, return to the starting point along the same route taken on the outward journey.
