The route begins at the Menut II recreational area (km 16.4 of the Pollença–Lluc road). From here, you cross a bridge over the road and take a wide dirt track that marks the start of the camí de sa Coma. The first section runs through an open pine forest with an undergrowth rich in mastic, myrtle, lemon-scented rockrose, Mediterranean cypress and spurge. From this area there are fine panoramic views of Puig Tomir, Moleta de Binifaldó, Puig Budell and Caragoler de Femenia. The path descends gently until it reaches the Font de sa Coma, with a small porch beside it. The water is not drinkable, as it is used by local livestock. Shortly before arriving, plants such as eixorba-rates blanc can be observed. From the fountain, the left-hand path leads to the artificial pond of the Pantanet de sa Coma, built as a fire-prevention measure. In this section, species such as eixorba-rates negre can also be found. The return follows the same path back to the fountain, where the initial trail is resumed. The route passes charcoal kilns and huts in holm oak woodland, with the occasional presence of wild cherry trees. In the final part, the path returns to the pine forest landscape, with the same vegetation as in the first section, until it reaches the starting point at the recreational area.
From the recreational area, the path descends through pine and holm oak woods with undergrowth of mastic, myrtle, lemon-scented rockrose and albons. It passes former olive and reed fields, and crosses areas with distinctive karst formations. On reaching es Pixarells, you can see a cistern with a channel and small water springs that appear after heavy rains, which give the place its name. From here, a winding climb leads to a viewpoint with panoramic views of Puig Caragoler de Femenia, Puig Roig, Puig Tomir and Moleta de Binifaldó. The route continues to Cometa des Morts, where, following a small trail through the holm oak forest, you reach Cova I, which has archaeological value. The return is along the main path, gently ascending to the road and back to the starting point.
A very easy itinerary, suitable for families. It connects with the section of the Ruta de Pedra en Sec that descends towards the valley of Sóller. The Pla de Cúber is surrounded by the highest mountains of the Serra, at the foot of Puig Major de Son Torrella. In the past, it was occupied by a manor house with farmland and pastures; today, the waters of the reservoir that supplies the city of Palma occupy almost the entire area. Thanks to this body of fresh water available all year round, the Pla has become an ideal spot for birdwatching.
