After having ascended to the centre of Castel Rigone, you start from the main square, walking west towards the walls through the alleys of the town. You walk along the viewpoint and down towards Rigonella. From there you descend following a trail that borders pastures and a wood mostly composed of turkey oaks, Downy oaks, junipers, strawberry trees and brooms. You then reach the agglomerate of Poggio, leaving it on your right as you proceed downwards until crossing the state road Castel Rigone – Lisciano Niccone. You cross it and, following the signs, proceed along the path that borders the treed hillside, separating it from the fields and pastures of Pian di Marte. Turn left and from here start the climb for Torre di Fiume (424 m. amsl), which you will reach after some u-turns. After a quick rest near the ancient tower, take the trail on the left, which ascends and enters the wood of turkey oaks and hornbeams. Near the top, in the area of Torre Civitella, you meet pastures, often interrupted by broom shrubberies dotted with heathers and cistus. You take the wide unsurfaced crest road leftwards, cross locality Trecine, enjoying vast panoramas of the lake and the surrounding rises. Here you take again the tarmac road, shadowed by ancient pines, which takes you back to Castel Rigone, with a brief deviation on unsurfaced ground that crosses the valley in the ara of Galluzzo.
