This trail follow the path of a group of partisan fighters that during WWII, in the year 1943, escaped from the prison camp located in Cortemaggiore and hid themselves in this woods until in 1945 they were chased and killed by the german army. The trail is dedicated to the commander Giovanni Grcavaz and marked with signs displayng the acronyms GLS that stands for the nickname Giovanni Lo Slavo.

We more or less followed https://www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/us/north-carolina/jacob-branch-lo… but the problem with the All Trails route is that it starts at a camp ground which does not make a lot of sense for those not camping.

I started my GPS on the side of the bridge where I ended, but apparent it did not pick up until after I crossed the bridge, so I guess that is not the official start of the route.
