This short trail starts in Villa Tarabini, historical building and place of the Municipal Vinegar Cellar. From the villa, the trail continues on Piazzale Lavezza, climbs up on Via Castellana and reaches the Virgin Mary of Lourdes Sanctuary, nineteenth century church in Gothic style. The route then continues flanking Montericco Castle, merging then onto Via Oliveto. From here the road is downhill, and along the route we encounter the Madonna dell'Oliveto Church, with a neoclassical style. As parish of Montericco, for a short period of time was directed by Ludovico Ariosto. In this area it is possible to visit Montericco Vinegar Cellar (only with reservation calling 0522-347751) and to the Vinegar Cellar Vergnano Castle (0522-599807).

At the end of the road, we encounter a crossroad, where we take Via Spallanzani (a gravel road), continuing then on Via Vallisneri and Via Nobili, until the crossroad with Via Roncosano. From here the route continues straight, merging with the cyclable path. At the crossroads we continue on Via Verdi and then on Via Caduti della Libertà, reaching the starting point.
