This itinerary leaves La Conreria by the Path of the Seminary (follows the GR 92). When it reaches a path that leaves to the right and follows the GR, continue by the track that keeps within the wood, first on the flat and then going up until you reach a path that rises, going left and continuing the itinerary. This track leaves the wood briefly and then goes on through undergrowth resulting from the fire of 94. On reaching a curve it turns towards right, entering the wood again, until reaching the area of undergrowth, from which a path leaves to the left that leads to the crest line and comes out beside an esplanade, from where there is an extensive view over the Vallès area. The track ends here, and we continue by a path through the vegetation that leads to the pass of Fra Rafel, where you find the path of the crest line. Continue steeply upwards to the right.

When you reach the top, the path descends towards the 'Coll de la Jeia d'en Pujol', where on your right you see a pond and a track that communicates with the 'Circumval·lació', a road round the village of La Conreria. The itinerary goes on by the crest line, and rises to the right, continuing to rise but less steeply. In front of the large fire-brake, keep straight on until you find the track that goes on by the crest line. Further up, past a chain that bars the way to vehicles, you link up with a track that goes up to the left, then carry straight on. You will soon reach the highest point of the 'Coscollada de l'Amigó' (466 m). The geodesic vertex lies to the right of the track.

You then come to a fire watchtower and, further down, a couple of high voltage towers and the place where two electricity lines cross. The track turns leftwards. Go straight on down a sloping path. This takes you down to a track that goes some metres to the right, then continue by a path that cuts off to the left. A few metres further on, take the small over-grown zigzag path. When you reach another wider path high up on the hill of the 'Pi Candeler' (451 m), continue to the right, go down a little and, after a pass, go up until a stone that tells you that you are entering the archaeological area.
