Leaving the field allocated for parking near Lambure, we go up to the hairpin bend and go back to road 633 "mammianese-marlianese" towards Piteglio. A few hundred metres past the village of Migliorini we turn right. When we get to the town of Piteglio we go past the school and continue to the bottom of the valley and continue for 6 km until Casa di Monte walking along a quiet shaded road. From Casa di Monte we go a little way uphill and then downhill to join the road towards Pescia. We reach Crespole and after 1km Lanciole. Following a hairpin bend we go up towards Pontito and turn right just before the town on a road that goes over the town.

We go past the church of Madonna delle Grazie and the road becomes unmade just before the aqueduct. We continue on the dirt track leading to us to the village Craco a Veglia (906 metres above sea-level) and its characteristic chapel.


We procede to the left along a "red" road that skims the ridge, offering a fantastic view over "Svizzera Pesciatina" (literally Pescia Switzerland), and we continue until the forking which takes towards Lucchio. The dirt track winds around the eastern slope of the Penna di Lucchio, an impressive calcareous rock formation, which rises behind the medieval castle of Lucchio. We continue downhill on the asphalt road until the bridge over the stream Lima near the Tana a Termini. We take road 12 East and walk up for about 4 km to Popiglio, where we then take the mule track at the bridge of Castruccio (see Itinerary 2).
