フランカヴィッラディシチリアの天然記念物・トップ20

A staircase (€2 per person, payable at the kiosk on the street) leads down to the Gole Dell' Alcantara. The stairs are mostly shaded and not particularly steep.

Beautiful, but depending on the time of day, it can get very crowded. It's best to come in the morning. The cool water of the Alcantara is a relief on hot days 😃

Argimusco is a plateau located in Sicily, just north of Etna, approximately on the border between the Nebrodi and Peloritani mountains, and is administratively divided between the municipalities of Montalbano Elicona, Tripi (which stands on the site of ancient Abacaenum) and Roccella Valdemone. The plateau is very panoramic as you can admire Etna, the Aeolian Islands, the curious mountains Rocca Salvatesta and Montagna di Vernà, Capo Tindari, Capo Calavà and Capo Milazzo up close. It is part of the Bosco di Malabotta nature reserve.

The rocky pyramid of Rocca di Novara ("Matterhorn of Sicily") seems inaccessible...as a landmark, it can even be seen from Mount Etna! This rocky promontory has a well-maintained trail (adequately marked with red dots), making it never too difficult to climb. (Caution: Surefootedness, a head for heights, and good weather are essential!!) From the summit plateau (large metal cross with the silhouette of Christ), there is a magnificent view of the coast, the mountain villages in the hinterland of Milazzo, and the Peloritani Mountains. The starting point is a picnic area on the SS185 (which will likely be impassable from the south for some time to come due to a landslide). There are a few parking spaces along the roadside; for off-road vehicles, you can also drive up to the first bend of the picnic area. A fantastic mountain experience - and afterwards, head to the café in Novara d. Sicily -> Bar S. Niecola!

Such a beautiful piece of earth!

This is really a really beautiful spot!!

100 meters after the public parking lot.

Closed. No weather indication. Probably because of not enough people (November). To go down, you would have to pay A LOT of money to a private company. Horrible!
