ヴィッラフラーティのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

Votive shrine near the intersection between the provincial road and the former railway below, now a forest road suitable for beautiful walks.

The area is fenced in and equipped with picnic tables, barbecue grills, and a playground. It's the ideal place to park your car for excursions in the area. There are also many forest trails for beautiful walks under the trees.

Not sure if the water is drinkable..

Panoramic point

Small lake located behind the King's Pond.

Ficuzza, a hamlet of Corleone, is a small center that clustered around the hunting lodge commissioned by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon in 1803. All the activity of the village takes place around the open space in front of the "palace". From here you can follow various paths - really well maintained - which branch off within the Bosco di Ficuzza Reserve
