The Fuoriporta itinerary 2 - Moglietta route

The itinerary starts from the same point as the Moscosa route. It climbs the Moscosa hill and then continues by turning right as far as the village of Moglietta. From there it follows municipal roads back to the starting point, closing the loop.

To reach the trailhead from the Amandola parking lot, follow the "Garulla" provincial road, which turns off on the right just after the municipal cemetery, for about one kilometer. This leads to a set of information boards and a private house, on the left, where the route starts. At the start you can see the gorge carved by the Lera stream with its waterfalls.

To compare several itineraries, see also Fuoriporta itinerary 1 - Moscosa, which shares the same start. Fuoriporta itinerary 4 - Capovalle also passes Moglietta and Campo di Masci, but it is longer and more demanding: 8.7 km with 440 m of elevation gain.
