The route is immersed in the nature of the Ghenza Valley - between Rosignano M.to, Cella Monte and Frassinello M.to – and, thanks to a series of informative panels, has the goal of enhancing, preserving and handing down the traditions and culture connected with the truffle and the hunting and extraction activities of the trifulau (truffle hunters) and their trusted tabui (truffle dogs).

The route departs from the ‘Circuito Monferrato degli Infernot’ and covers 4 km (out and back) on flat and dirt road. Half-way, you walk by the Mill, of private ownership, example of late 19th century “industrial archaeology”, which was expanded in the early and mid-20th century.
