Iniciamos la ruta en el pueblo de Piorno, que se recomienda recorrer porque conserva excelentes muestras de arquitectura tradicional de los Oscos en piedra, pizarra y madera.
Frente al camino, al otro lado del valle, iremos viendo varias aldeas: primero Arne y Arruñada, luego Villanueva de San Cristóbal y después la Sierra de la Bobia. También podremos observar varios cortines (construcciones de piedra de forma circular, alrededor de las colmenas o trobos para resguardarlas de la fauna).
El paisaje nos sorprenderá con sus contrastes entre lo abrupto y lo suave, con sus sonidos: el río Soutelo, los pájaros,… la abundante vegetación autóctona: helechos, castaños, robles,… y la numerosa fauna: corzos, jabalís, zorros, azores y perdices.

The route starts in the square of Sta. Eulalia de Oscos descending to the lower part of the village and continuing along a beautiful path surrounded by native forest that leads us to Ferreirela de Baxo, a place where it is worth stopping and visiting the Museo Casa Natal del Marqués de Sargadelos.
The itinerary begins in the village of A Revoqueira, three kilometers from San Martín.
The itinerary begins next to the chapel of Salgueiras, located on the AS-27 road, 6 kilometers from Villanueva. Throughout the tour we must observe the environment around us: the houses, their attached buildings, orchards, meadows, farm implements, forests, to understand the way of life of the locals.
The trail starts at the entrance of the village, where we will find a suitable place to leave the car. After a few meters we will find an information panel that will give us a general idea of the itinerary.
This route starts at the Nature Interpretation Center, in the center of Santa Eulalia de Oscos.
