The trail then goes North for a total of 3.9 km on an almost flat route crossing in the final part the Vallone del Salto del Bue: this is an interesting hydro-geological phenomenon, dug by rainwater or by water resulting from melted snow. The trail then reaches the S.P. \"Mareneve di Linguaglossa\" road, at one sharp hairpin turn beyond which is Monte Fallacca.\n\nApproximately 1,500 m into Hiking Trail no. 728, there is a junction on the left. From here, after 2,200 m on inter-provincial or forest roads, further upstream of the trail described above, it is possible to reachS.P. \"Mareneve di Linguaglossa\", after crossing the Contrada Mandra del Re.

Hence, a mule track begins that offers clear evidence of the activities that once characterised the medium slopes of the volcano, when lava fields were colonised to plant vineyards up to a thousand metres above sea level. Proceeding along the mule track, the trail meets a detour, which, in about ten minutes, allows hikers to observe one of the most fascinating natural monuments of Etna: the Ilice di Carrinu, an over 700-year-old holm oak with a vigorous crown that overlooks a now ruined house. Returning to the mule track, after getting past the pleasant town of Piano Bello and walking along the Valle del Bove it is possible to enjoy beautiful views of the summit area.
