In the middle of nowhere in the Calatafimi bell towers, amidst stony and leg-breaking trails, half-hidden in a small gorge, this fountain is a pleasant resting place.

Reminiscent of the setting of an end-time movie.

The fountain is located in the district of the same name, Cartipoli - just outside the Bosco Baronia - its construction precedes the official foundation of the town of Vita and represents one of the first water infrastructures in the area. Its position immersed in nature makes it ideal for those who cycle inside or around the Bosco della Baronia.

A 17th century Baglio unfortunately left abandoned, but which with its watchtower at the fiefdom of the same name, continues to have an indisputable charm

History, culture and breathtaking views of the hilly surroundings are all mixed here. The view of the Norman-Swabian castle that towers over the town is particularly impressive - a perfect destination after a challenging stage. The climb, especially in the Monte delle Rose district, is quite demanding, but the reward is worth it: a spectacular view of the old town and the castle. Salemi is not only a visual highlight, but also steeped in history. In May 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi briefly proclaimed Salemi the first capital of a united Italy - even if the title only lasted for one day. This town combines the legacy of a turbulent past with the charm of a typical Sicilian village, which lies about 400 meters above sea level. Salemi not only offers a historical insight, but also a challenging but worthwhile route through the rural region. When you drive through the winding streets here, you can literally feel how history and the present merge into one another.

The forest develops on the mountain of the same name and overlooks the valley bordering the territories of Salemi, Vita and Calatafimi. From here it is possible to gaze out towards the surrounding mountains such as: Monte Polizzo, Monte Bonifato and Montagna Grande. To ensure you don't miss anything, you can admire the temple of Segesta and the shrine of Pianto Romano, Inside the forest, in addition to the forest roads, several single tracks - quite well maintained - allow you to completely immerse yourself in the beauty of the forest.
