Difficulty: T (tourist)
Start from Poia, at the turnoff for Comano on the Provincial Road leading to Lundo. After parking the vehicle, climb the paved road clearly marked with the sign "Agritur Mass Marocc." After climbing the steep ascent with wide curves and hairpin bends, you reach the Agritur after passing through meadows and orchards. To the right of the farm, a steep mountain path crosses the woods and at the edge of the meadows, you reach a plateau with the short path leading to the chapel of S. Croce. Built in 1671 and consecrated in 1700, inside you can admire the altar, with two polychrome wooden sculptures representing the Sorrowful Madonna and St. John the Evangelist, along with the fine decorations of the vault. After viewing the chapel and "catching your breath," retrace your steps and upon reaching the plateau, leave the path taken on the way out to the right and continue straight up to the forest road coming from Lundo and heading to Comano. Follow the sign to Comano until you enter the village. Passing through the inhabited center, you arrive at the parish church dedicated to St. James; once out of the village, continue to the right of a wayside shrine along a road that will lead you back to Poia.
