We leave Cabañas de la Dornilla along a forest track that passes under the Toreno- Ponferrada highway. The route advances through a landscape that gives way to cultivated areas and the dispersed hamlet of Cabañas Raras. After crossing the Sancedo road, a flat track leads us to Cueto. From there, we continue in the direction of San Juan de la Mata and later to Magaz de Arriba. From this town we ascend to Alto de Ocedo to finally descend towards Cacabelos.
