The malga (or upland farm where cheese is made) has not existed for some time and can only the ruins remain, because of a large avalanche it would seem. The white ruins stand in the centre of a very special natural structure, a green, completely flat karst hollow, dominated by monte Geu, the Creta Forata and the western outliers of monte Cimon. It is closed on all sides except to the north where sprout the distant, towering rocky ramparts of Peralba and Chiadènis.

The uniqueness of this path, mostly easy and not tiring, is the absolutely unique setting of the second part, the bed of a stream that rises in the valley of Creta Forata and whose pure waters emerge bubbling here and there when you least expect it before vanishing into thin air, swallowed up as if by magic by the rocks and gravel before reappearing suddenly and giving rise to small pools before disappearing once again. Whosoever doesn’t love a bit of adventure there is a convenient path that, high up on the course of the river quickly descends to the goal. But why not experience some unusual emotions without any real difficulty by following this bizarre stream? It's a real fun steering a course between the large boulders, sand, harmless little waterfalls, pebbles and small pools. Seeing is believing!
