This route begins at the Casa do Patron ethnographic museum, in Codesedo, and runs along both banks of the Asneiro river and its tributary Lebozán.
From Codesedo, the path turns towards the Castro de Doade prehistoric site. The rest of the route uncovers the rich heritage of this mainly agricultural area.
