Next to the brook of Cavez, an old building gathered the work of wool and cereals: there it was trampled — tightened — wool and milled. The municipal description places the ruins at the descent of Formigueiro. The trail allows to know this memory of the work; access to the interior is not confirmed.
It is important to separate operations: treading wool and grinding cereal are different jobs, although the description gathers them in that building. One cannot imagine a single machine producing flour and treating wool without documentation of the mechanism. The municipal presentation refers to traces of artifacts in the ruins, but does not offer an inventory that allows to reconstruct all the pieces.
The same landscape connects work and relief. Formigueiro is above the pison, in a descent that the source describes as accentuated; the Nariz do Mundo corresponds to another element of the route, aimed at reading the valley. Knowing the history of the device and preparing a walk are complementary tasks: distance, difficulty and conditions belong to the track record.
