Following the inspection carried out by trail technicians, this trail has been declared of "limited adequacy" as a result of the faults detected in the signage. These include inadequate horizontal signs (paint markers) and/or vertical ones (trailheads and information boards) or lacking direction markers that do not provide sufficient information to properly follow the route. The builder of this trail has been informed of the situation.
For safety reasons and during maintenance work, it is advised to be extremely careful while taking this route. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

A stage that from Vallibona climbs the Turmell mountain range and then, within the municipality of Morella, descends through the spectacular Barranco del Marfullar to the Vallivana Sanctuary.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Salimos de Vallibona en dirección sureste hacia la fuente Vella para cruzar el río Cérvol y seguir por la senda que discurre paralela al cauce del río. Más adelante pasaremos cerca de la fuente de Grillos y cruzaremos el barranco de la Llosa y posteriormente, el barranco del Codinar donde la senda empieza un fuerte ascenso hacia el mas de Querolet que queda en la parte alta.

Continuaremos ascendiendo por la sierra del Turmell hasta alcanzar el azagador del Turmell, en el collado de la sierra, donde giraremos a la derecha unos metros hasta encontrar la senda a la izquierda en descenso por el barranco del Marfullar por el que seguiremos hasta el pozo del mismo nombre.

En este punto, sin dejar el camino que sigue paralelo al barranco, llegaremos a la carretera N-232 que cruzaremos para dirigirnos al santuario de la Virgen de la Vallivana, final de la etapa.
