Comment (Automatic translation in english)

Leave the car on the road to Vacarisc (prohibition sign), then continue to this last location. From here starts an educational trail that performs the same loop tour followed by me and that, at each stage, illustrates the area reached with descriptive signs. First you go up to the Corte dell'Ovi. From here you reach the Corte Mognòla where there is a farmhouse turned into a small museum and can be visited freely. Then continue until the Lake of Mognòla and from here you reach the area of Canà. In this location the aqueduct starts, which collects part of the water coming from the overhanging natural amphitheater, sending it to the Corte del Sasso, along a very beautiful and spectacular half-kilometer route. You can follow it entirely and finally descend to Vacarisc along a path just as steep as that of the outward journey.

Water (Automatic translation in english)

There is the river near Vacarisc and a fountain at the Corte dell'Ovi. Then there is the river at Corte Mognòla and later at the lake. On the way back, there is the river at Cana and finally water from the aqueduct to the Corte del Sasso.
