Leaving the Historical Village of Belmonte, the route begins by following the bike path next to the Castle. After descending for a little while, it crosses the national road and, shortly thereafter, it follows east, to cross the motorway and the railway. It crosses the Inguias stream together with the tar road and, already on the other bank, it goes up the valley as a dirt track. The route leaves this valley, which is now called Quarta-feira, and goes around Serra da Pedra Furada, thus revealing the Historical Village of Sortelha. Together with the local PR, it goes up drovers' routes and Roman and medieval stone roads, reaching the Castle’s west door, next to the old hospital.
