From the square in Limonta, behind the “Muraglione”, built in the mid-19th century by the Archdukes of Austria, take path no. 23 towards Limontasca.
After 20–25 minutes of ascent you reach the junction with the small chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony, where you must continue on the left, still along path no. 23.
