The mountain pass Valico della colla provides easiest connection between the peaks Monte Cocuzzo and Serralunga and the surrounding places. Because of the many possible connections and I cannot provide a through route across the pass this route starts here. After 2 km comfortable way down along the western slope of Monte Cocuzzo there is a place named I Perali with picnic area, water fountain and phantastic panorama despite of the already lower altitude. Further down the dirt road there is a large information board showing the hiking possiblities of Monte Cocuzzo.

At a crossroads an asphalt road starts towards Torraca. This road provides the easiest access to this area. For reaching Battaglia and avoinding too long walk on asphalt I left the road into the forest, following a former mule track indicated on the 1:25.000 IGM maps in two different versions. There were a few red/white indications but the way was hardly visible and partially overgrown with thorny vegetation. Maybe you should watch out for a better maintained path. There were several ones visible going into the forest in maybe right direction but they were not indicated in any map and it was not clear to me whether they were leading through. Following the way on the old map as close as possible using GPS navigation I came out of the forest right next to Palazzo Galotti in Battaglia.

After enjoying the view across the Bussentino valley to Casaletto Spartano I went down into the valley using a stairway. A path continues along the river, ending at a road bridge to cross the river and easily go up the other side into the village. Around noon time this place was very quiet.
