The southeast trail in Acqui Terme offers really nice views when you get a bit up on the mountain.
We suggest that you start at the street Viale Micheli, where there are also plenty of parking spaces for cars.
There are many different variations and routes you can choose on the trail, the route we took was 7.7 km and medium in difficulty. The trail starts at 170 m above sea level and already after 1.6 km you are up at 410 m above sea level, so the toughest part of the trail is right at the beginning with a rather demanding climb.
After the tough climb at the beginning, it levels off and goes a little up and down for a kilometer or so. Just before the turn, it starts to level out and you get slowly slopes down towards Acqui Terme.
On the way, a few smaller villages are passed, but none of these have any restaurant or enoteca. Bring your own coffee and what you want to eat, why not on one of the peaks with miles-wide views.
We took a relatively leisurely hike that took us 2h50min and then we made a total of 60min stops/breaks.
The trail mostly follows paths to the south. At the turn and when you go north towards Acqui Terme again, the trail mostly follows smaller roads.
To make it easier for our visitors, we record the routes we walk with the Wikiloc app, which is free to download. Our visitors can then look up our account Podere Tonette in the app and follow one of our routes that we recorded. You then get a map and, if you want, real-time trail information so that the app tells you directly if you deviate from the trail or go wrong somewhere.
