It goes out of Courts of Sandy by a wide track to the north leaving the hermitage of Santa Bárbara and the House Martín to the right at the same time that carry the depression of the river Cut to the left.
After happening the entrance of House Martín there is a senda to the right that carries to the brook Podrido, near there is a big encina (45 minutes).
We go on down the track and half hour later will see another crossing beside a big pine. We will follow the ramal of the left in direction to the But of The Laguna, leaving another group of houses a bit more move# away to the left.
We leave the entrance to the But and take the wide way that goes up some metres and provides us the sight of the Laguna. We go up afterwards by the moor, already in sight the beak, twisting little by little to the east to take a senda that is born in the first forest of pines that see to our right (1:50 h.). The senda crosses the forest to the North arriving to a calvero from where divisa the But of the Crosses.
Already near of the But the senda difumina between stones. We will continue field to través to the houses ladeando slightly west.
We arrive to the Masia of the Crosses (2:10 h.) And we go out of this to the West going up the last slope between a vaguada. In his top follow already the crest until the summit (2:30 h.).
The return realises by the same footpath.
