These caves were not only a safe haven in times of war, but also housed a millstone, an oven and a press that allowed people to survive there for long periods of time. Just the idea that these caves once secured the life of a community gives them a special historical significance. The path there is adventurous and leads through a rough but beautiful landscape. From the cave entrance you have an impressive view of the sea, which beautifully sets off the contrast between the rough rocky landscape and the calm, blue waters of the Mediterranean. As you explore the caves you will discover the traces of times gone by that are carved in stone here. A real highlight for hikers who are equally enthusiastic about history and nature.

The hike to Uzzo Cave in the Riserva Naturale Orientata dello Zingaro offers you an impressive mix of history and nature. This prehistoric site is not only a visual highlight, but also archaeologically significant - finds from the cave indicate human presence around 10,000 years ago. As soon as you enter the shaded area of the cave, the cool air offers a welcome respite after an intense hike under the Sicilian sun. The rocky landscape around the cave is just as fascinating as the cave itself - buried fossils and petrified bones tell of a distant past when this cave was used as both a shelter and a resting place. Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet and reflect on the people who lived here many millennia ago. Tip: Be sure to pay attention to local regulations as you are in a protected area and respect nature.

The Uzzo cave, also known as the large cave due to its size, (45 m deep and 50 m wide) can be reached from the northern entrance of the Zingaro nature reserve, following the coastal path. After about 20 minutes of walking, past the first cove of Tonnarella dell'Uzzo, the cave appears to us as a fascinating thousand-year-old mystery. A curtain of trees and shrubs protects it from the wind, immediately transmitting to us a sense of protection that our ancestors must also have experienced. The Uzzo cave, in fact, has its roots in prehistoric times, as evidenced by, in addition to archaeological research and the objects found, exhibited at the Salinas Museum in Palermo, a series of graffiti engraved on the rocky walls inside, visible to all . We enter and the sea outside seems very far away. Source: risonaturalezingaro.com
