This path linked, since time immemorial, the mountains of Cuenca and the Rincón de Ademuz, where the woodcutters felled the timber, with the Turia River in Ademuz, of which there is knowledge of the descent of timbers down its course since Roman times.

The trail runs parallel to the Tóvedas ravine, where carters skillfully transported their loads of timber, an activity evidenced by the cart tracks etched into the rock. Further on, the path enters terraced dryland fields, with a landscape of worked and shaped dry stone. Finally, the trail reaches Ademuz via the Rambla de la Virgen ravine, emerging at the banks of the Río Blanco where a wooden landing stage once stood.

From there, the log drivers or timbermen transported the "green gold" or wood on a river journey to the city of Valencia, where it was used for multiple purposes and industries.
