Itinerary description
We started the walk from the car park of Piscina de Orba.Restaurant (A really good and popular Italian Pizzeria\Italian restaurant). Isbert was a swiss engineer who built the Dam but the rocks either side of the Dam were so porous the water trapped by it drained away too quickly for the dam to be practical. (More info available by Orba tourism dept.)Finishing back at the restaurant has the advantage of enjoying a really nice meal before heading for home. There is a 150 mtr tunnel also built by Isbert on the route for which a torch or mobile phone torch is necessary.

Nice walk. Offers some shade and nice views. Zeker een aanrader.
This is one of our favourites in the region. Easy to follow, nice changes of terrain, mostly easy with a little bit of light scrambling at the point where you cross the dry river.
