The "Fratel Biagio Conte" Nature Trail, an easy walk, runs along a forest road that from Portella
Colla first descends gently to the forest gate and then climbs part of the northern slope of Cozzo Sella.
Among the native beech, maple, and holly trees, you'll also encounter Madonie fir trees, introduced by the joint efforts of the Park Authority, the University of Palermo, and the State Forestry
Company of the Sicily Region.
Along the trail, you can observe native flora and fauna in a natural and
landscape setting of rare beauty.
It's no coincidence that this location was chosen by Brother Biagio for a period of hermitage at the forest refuge you'll encounter along the trail. Continuing, you'll reach a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Piano Mirabilici valley, a karst sinkhole that characterizes the area.
In the background, Monte Cervi with its magnificent continental beech forest.
We invite you to walk the path in silence and leave no trace of your passage. Nine panels along the path invite pilgrims to observe and reflect, just as Brother Biagio loved to do.
