Hi, I think it's because they opened the dam's locks not long ago, my friends and I would like to do Lavagnina-Genoa Pegli, do you have any advice?

intersection between different routes, all interesting and almost all accessible; clockwise: north (left in the photo) towards the valley of the sources of S.Rocco and then of S.Limbana di Castelletto d'Orba; east towards the dirt road that passes next to the ancient Albarola tower and then goes towards Mornese/Casaleggio Boiro; after a few meters of this a detour to the left leads, among the new Tacchino vineyards, to the ridge that leads to the Bozzolina village, but it is almost always blocked by an impassable gate; south towards Lerma; to the west - where the photo was taken from - the Costa road towards Silvano d'Orba.

The place is very beautiful, there are points where the path is not passable due to bad maintenance, especially at the beginning we turned back and by extending the route we managed to complete it.
