パチェーコのおすすめランニングルート

At the parking lot, it's better to take a switchback up to the "Erice Parcheggio Panoramico." The circular trail starts there. (The previous section isn't really a trail.)

Seafront where you can run, walk or simply admire the sunset. There is also a cycle path

Ideally it is the point where the Tyrrhenian Sea meets the Mediterranean Sea

A town that is absolutely worth visiting for the breathtaking view of the Gulf of Trapani that can be admired during the ascent and for the beauty of the village.

The coastal road from Trapani offers you as a racing cyclist relaxed conditions and magnificent views. With flat elevation changes and roads with little traffic, you can enjoy the landscape in a relaxed manner. The ride along the salt pans of Trapani and Paceco, which are typical of the region, is particularly attractive. If you fancy more altitude, you can also choose the route up to Erice - the coast always remains in your field of vision. This section invites you to take longer tours thanks to its easy route and offers you an impressive panorama despite the relaxed route. Here you experience the real Sicily on two wheels - a mixture of coastal breeze, landscapes and a few well-placed climbs, if you dare.

King Frederick's Tower in Erice offers you an impressive view of the town, the sea and the surrounding islands. The steep stairs lead you up and the view from up there is really worth it. The bell that rings on the hour is particularly striking - an impressive experience, but be careful, it is really loud if you stand right next to it. The clear view on nice days allows you to look far out into the landscape and out to sea. The combination of historical architecture and this breathtaking view makes for an intense experience that is best enjoyed in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the hustle and bustle.

This charming, high-altitude town tells its own story through the interplay of narrow streets, medieval buildings and the impressive remains of Norman fortifications. Erice seems like a place that has stood still in time. Even the journey up Mount Eryx by bike is a small adventure in itself. Once up here, you are treated to a view of the town that takes you back to times gone by. The narrow cobbled streets and well-preserved buildings make it seem as if a knight could emerge from around the next corner. Particularly exciting is the mix of legends and history that surround Erice. Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans have left their mark here - the mountain once served as a holy place that was worshipped by sailors and pilgrims. And then there is the Venus Castle, which was built on the remains of an ancient temple. The castle and the views of the surrounding area alone are worth the steep climb. The medieval alleyways invite you to explore, and even though there are a few steep climbs, they are always worth it. Park your bike and let yourself drift - whether in the summer in clear light or on a foggy winter day, the atmosphere is unique.

The coast of Trapani allows you to reach the salt pans of Trapani and Paceco or to climb the hill that leads to Erice.
