Tunnel, whose entrance is presently collapsed, and some trenches excavated in the second half of the 19th century.
The collecting site can be reached from the town of Ferriere, continuing in the direction of Solaro. Once you have passed this village, continue for about two kilometers and stop near a country road, visible on the right of the main road, closed with an iron bar. Then, walk along this road and reach the dump of the old magnetite mine, which is approximately 15 minutes' walk from the iron bar.
