パッツァーノの湖・トップ4

Beautiful small pond in the nature reserve

Near the lake there is also a picnic area with an adjoining fountain.

Located in a beautiful natural setting

Beautiful lake along the Frassati path, a stone's throw from Mongiana.

Lake Sambuco di Mongiana is located within the Cropani-Micone Biogenetic Nature Reserve. To get to the lake, you go along another river, the Allaro

A small waterfall with a small lake in front. In the summer it's definitely nice to cool off here. And then eat something small with the kids at the nice picnic table. I recommend hiking to the waterfall from Piano de Gatto via the 'jeep route'. Then it should also be easy to do with children. It is not recommended over the Contrada Felicella route. On the one hand, the path is partially overgrown by thorny undergrowth, then the wooden bridge is in a dilapidated condition.

After a beautiful ride in Stilo, we returned to the coast following the itinerary suggested by Komoot and found ourselves on a wonderful road. In the first section, you cross all kinds of omelettes, on an asphalted road only traveled by local farmers. Then the bottom becomes more bumpy, until it turns into a dirt road (absolutely passable with gravel or cycle touring bikes). More or less halfway, when you turn left to go back along the Jonica state road, we came across a beautiful lake, surrounded by reeds. To better identify it, I'll talk about it in another highlight. Highly recommended segment to avoid the main road and to enjoy a splendid landscape.

Well-kept picnic area, where you can stop and refresh yourself thanks to the alpine fountain that the area is equipped with. really well kept and spotless!
