Location

Location: Titignano, La Roccaccia. Another entrance of 56U/TR, in a natural setting, with free access.

Route: 100 m, 10 min on foot. Once at the built-up area of Titignano, proceed along the unpaved road descending to the left of the Castle (if desired, you can leave your vehicle in the parking area in front of the Castle and continue on foot, since the road has steep or broken sections). After about 600 m, at the first junction turn left, then continue for another 2 km until you see a parking pull-off on your right (from where the path to the Roccaccia starts). This is a further point where vehicles can be left. Then proceed along the last stretch of road, which has a rough and stony surface, for another 1.5 km, until you reach a pull-off on the left where vehicles can be left. From here, proceed along the wide path in the bosco; after about 130 m on the right, past the slide entrance, you come to the dinaminte entrance.
