The route starts from the Church of San Marco, an ideal starting point thanks to the convenient parking lots located at its foot. Those who want additional information or an alternative reference point can choose to start from the La Fontana farmhouse, where they can receive useful information about the route and the peculiarities of the area.

This fascinating loop between the two Miragoli leads to the discovery of the roccoli, historic structures of great scenic and cultural value. Placed in a panoramic position, these artifacts are distinguished by their rare and harmonious form, still capable of arousing awe and curiosity. While at one time their beauty was mainly functional, as the arrangement of shrubs and structure was designed to catch birds, today what remains is a valuable testimony to an ancient subsistence practice, far from the modern idea of recreational hunting.

To follow this itinerary is to immerse oneself in the discreet and authentic beauty of the hamlets that dot the slopes above Zogno: small rural nuclei where time seems to flow more slowly and where nature embraces simple but historically rich architecture. From the vantage points offered by the roccoli, the gaze can sweep over the municipality of Zogno, the middle Brembana Valley and the surrounding mountains, providing moments of peace and contemplation.

The trail is mainly on dirt paths, alternating with short stretches of road with little traffic, making it suitable for regular walkers and those who want an experience in the midst of nature without excessive difficulty. This is a perfect hike to get up close and personal with a unique rural heritage, where landscape, traditions and memory come together in an evocative and fascinating walk.
