プリッツィの天然記念物・トップ13

As a great lover of hunting, King Ferdinand III of Bourbon, owner of the entire Ficuzza Forest and the Royal Hunting Lodge built nearby, had steps and a large ledge carved into this rocky outcrop for hunting. This is the so-called King's Pulpit, a beautiful and evocative sight.

Be careful on the westward ascent! The final 150 meters to the summit are quite steep and very exposed. The terrain is also not ideal, consisting of scree, small stones, tufts of grass, and loose earth, which can lead to falls. Furthermore, the path from this side is almost completely unmarked, and the depression between Rocca Ramusa and Rocca Busambra is completely overgrown, at least in summer. Furthermore, the path to the summit itself from the west is dominated by tall grasses, thistles, and other plants at this time of year. In high temperatures, you should carry at least two liters of water per person and wear a hat. In summer, I recommend spending plenty of time in the depression between Rocca Ramusa and Rocca Busambra because of the thick undergrowth there. I advise inexperienced hikers against the westward ascent.

Unexpected canyon on the outskirts of Corleone

Pizzo Nicolosi is a massive promontory on which an ancient Roman city stood, useful for controlling the traffic of the surrounding area. Today it is an archaeological site on which studies are slowly being carried out.

At the end of the stairs you can see the remains of a bench and possibly a table.

Unfortunately dry in December 2024.

Beautiful and easy excursions, nearby we find the Capreria refuge

Lovely place. An Eden a few kilometers from Palermo. Visited in May still appreciates a lush waterfall. Green is dazzling. I recommend comfortable shoes, sportswear, water and something to eat on the various smooth rocks that line the stream. It is easily reached, can be visited even by the little ones and the parking is very close. Also ideal for four-legged friends. Path to reach the waterfall: the two entrances allow you to access a path that connects the upper mill to the lower one, in an ideal way of the mills or arrive directly in front of the waterfall. Time to walk the path: 2 minutes. Path above the waterfall: it allows you to admire the beautiful surrounding landscape, ABOVE THE WATERFALL, from a different angle. Time to walk the path: 3 minutes.
