From the town of Berbegal going to the crossing of highways located to the population's south, where the A-1223 and the HU-852 converge. Of the Rafts of Tiling part the old way to Morilla, for which we will advance until arriving to the Channel of Terreu. Passed over their bridge, we may continue descending. When the end of the road is reached, it becomes necessary to continue for another that reflects parallel to a small watering channel, and that it takes to the hermitage of Santa Águeda and the Crag of the Witches.

After leaving the hermitage behind, the road continues ascending. In a crossing of roads we should take that of the left, to arrive later to the highway of Barbastro A-1223. The following tract of the route, weakened by thick stone walls, it is called Way to Santiago, because here roamed the catalano-Aragonese way. It was possibly part of the Roman roadway that connected the cities of Ilerda (Lérida) and Osca (Huesca).
Near it is the canal of Terreu that will mark us the address to continue, because for their right margin, and after travelling about 4 kms, we will arrive to the enigmatic Crag de Muyed. We will return for the same road until reaching a floodgate of the canal of Terreu, next to which a bridge exists for the one we will cross, taking the way called Real Road of Zaragoza. For him it leaves winning height, until reaching the Balsa Galiana, where we should take the highway to the left for which we will travel the last tract of the route before arriving at the town of Berbegal.
