Cake tastes very good! 👍🏻

A small town that deserves a stop

Carbini has barely more than 100 inhabitants, but it is nevertheless a historic place. The Giovannali, a 14th-century breakaway group of the Franciscans, had their roots here. Because they refused to pay taxes, they became enemies of the state and were brutally massacred during a crusade. The Sentier des Giovannali still commemorates them today, and from the summit, "A Punta," one can enjoy a fantastic panorama.

A small mountain junction with some infrastructure: bakeries, shops, and even places to stop for refreshments. Those driving towards the Bavella Pass from the west or south will inevitably pass through Zonza.

A very quiet and beautiful route, with hardly any traffic. When I drove along the road in mid-June 2025, I was particularly struck by how green it was. I doubt it's still midsummer. But what would be soothing even then is the abundant shade provided by the trees along this stretch through the forest.

From the dam, you have a magnificent view of the mountains to the north. The reservoir was created to provide drinking water, so swimming is prohibited here.

The reservoir was created to provide drinking water, so swimming is prohibited, even though the lake looks inviting. However, this ban doesn't stop the cows from cooling off with their feet 😁 The lakeshore is a great place to linger, and you've certainly earned a break after completing the climb from Porto Vecchio.
