There is water at the Fontanino del Plasso spring along the hike.

Churches, paintings and local traditions

The parish of San Leone Magno in Cenate Sopra was officially founded on 27 April 1611. In the Church of San Leone, the Assumption of Mary painting was restored in 2021 as one of Moroni’s five works. The Festa di San Leone includes liturgical celebrations, a procession through the town’s streets and the blessing of vehicles.

The Church of Santa Maria Assunta di Misma was built around the year 1000 and features Romanesque architecture from the 12th century as well as 17th-century altars. It can only be reached on foot; one access route follows Sentiero 607, marked by the Club Alpino Italiano. This means that the trail combines a direct route to a historic destination with the natural and hiking experience around Valpredina.
