Die italienische A 10 (Genua - Nizza) bei der Ausfahrt Arma di Taggia (etwa in der Mitte zwischen Imperia und Ventmiglia) verlassen. Dann auf der SP 548 das Tal der Argentina aufwärts Richtung Triora. Nach 8 km durchfährt man Badalucco, 12 km danach, direkt vor der Ortschaft Molini di Triora, biegen wir links ab auf die SP 65 in Richtung Colla Langan. Wir überqueren die Argentina und erreichen 2 km nach der Abzweigung die erste Linkskehre, wo wir das Auto abstellen.

Leave the Italian A 10 (Genoa - Nice) at the Arma di Taggia exit (about halfway between Imperia and Ventmiglia). Then take the SP 548 up the valley of the Argentina towards Triora. After 8 km we pass through Badalucco, 12 km after that, just before the village of Molini di Triora, we turn left onto the SP 65 towards Colla Langan. We cross the Argentina and 2 km after the turnoff we reach the first leftward haipin bend, where we park the car.

Approach (20 min): machine translated ➜ Original language

Von der Straßenkehre nehmen wir den Fußweg, der in nördlicher Richtung über der Argentina leicht ansteigend zu dem baufälligen (2012) Steg über den Grognardo führt. Hier einsteigen.

From the road bend we take the footpath that leads in a northerly direction over the Argentina slightly ascending to the dilapidated (2012) footbridge over the Grognardo. Get on here.

Return (15 min): machine translated ➜ Original language

Nach der Mündung des Grognardo in einen großen Gumpen der Argentina (sog. Lago Degno) an dessen unterem Ende der Spur rechts hinauf zum Anmarschweg folgen und auf diesem zurück zum Auto. Alternativ kann man die Begehung des Argentina von der alten Steinbogenbrücke abwärts begehen, siehe Näheres bei Argentina.

After the Grognardo flows into a large pool of the Argentina (known as Lago Degno), at its lower exit, follow the tracks on the right up to the approach path and along this back to the car. Alternatively, you can walk down the Argentina from the old stone arch bridge, see Argentina for more details.
