The gigantic hole in the granite rock with a diameter of approx. 6 m, which was caused by Tafoni weathering, looks as if it had been blown up by a bomb.
The brave climb the last few meters to the hole, while others enjoy the view from a safe distance.

Spectacular scenery on this relaxing 2 hour return hike. Slightly more challenging is the optional climb up the rocks for stunning views of the Aguilles de Bavella at the end. For more reviews ("Definitely recommend it for a first hike in Corsica") see tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g656497-d6692224-r281291610-Trou_de_la_Bombe-Zonza_Corse_du_Sud_Corsica.html
The Aiguilles de Bavella (I Forchi di Baveddain Corsican) are rocky spikes that dominate the hill of the same name, meaning 'needles of Bavella'. At 1218 m, the hill connects the Alta Rocca (fr) to the east coast of Corsica. This massif is smaller yet much more popular than the "aiguilles de Popolasca". The site is characterized by jagged peaks, large rock walls and pine trees twisted by the wind. Located in the centre of the "Massif de Bavella", are the seven "tours d'Asinau," or towers of Asinau, the actual "needles". en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiguilles_de_Bavella
