Location

Route: 100 m, 10 min on foot. On reaching the built-up area of Titignano, proceed along the unpaved road descending to the left of the Castello (if desired, you can leave your vehicle in the car park in front of the Castello 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 you can leave vehicles. Then proceed along the last stretch of road, which has a broken, stony surface, for another 1.5 km, until you reach a pull-off on the left where you can leave vehicles. From here, proceed along the wide path in the bosco: after about 130 m, on the right, is the slide entrance.

Route information: Walkable path, Dangerous access.

Entrance: another entrance of 56U/TR. Entrance context: natural. Location: Titignano, La Roccaccia.
