Pentima "has the meaning of" cliff "and derives from the Latin" pentoma ", or" rocky boulder ".
This is exactly what it is: a spur of rock that stands out among the vegetation, offering a breathtaking view.
This place has a very special history.
Legend has it that in ancient times an old lady accused of witchcraft committed suicide by throwing herself off this precipice, it seems that even today her voice can be heard calling from below inviting visitors to throw themselves in turn.
Near the Pentima often blasphemous writings and mysterious symbols drawn on the rocks are found

It is a stupendous panoramic point (Pentima means "Crag") overhanging the lake (not recommended for those suffering from vertigo) from where it is said that an old lady accused of witchcraft threw herself down, and that one can still hear the his voice that invites the passer-by to jump in turn ...
