サンタルチーアデルメラのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Monte Scuderi, the magical mountain, full of hidden treasures. It is said that to reveal (find) the immense treasure hidden at the top of the mountain (the "Trovatura," as these hidden treasures are called in Sicily), one must first catch three fish from the Sea of Ali. They must then be brought "still alive" and on a "handkerchief woven by a virgin" to the top of the mountain. There, they will be cooked, and from them will emerge a huge serpent that will coil three times around the seeker's body. However, the seeker must not be afraid, or he will end up in distant, desolate lands. Once this is done precisely and carefully, a crack will open in the mountain, and upon entering, he will find a hen with seven chicks made of solid gold. Now, I don't know if I've remembered this story correctly, but the fact remains that Monte Scuderi has always represented a magical mountain, full of mystery, for the citizens of the villages below. From its flat summit, a 360° view of the surrounding area is offered. And a cave, visitable where the treasure could actually be found

Margi Plan

Excellent place to camp, with equipped area and running water.

Do not travel this section if it is foggy or without adequate equipment.

Beautiful forest refuge, located in the municipality of Santa Lucia del Mela. Hobs and running water. Great for a nice picnic.

Whether it is drinking water or not is not stated. The judgment is left to the hiker.

My cousin and I tried to follow the route clockwise. After about 50 minutes, having just passed the first ridge, we came across a farmhouse where a group of shepherd dogs chased us, forcing us into a daring escape. I do not recommend this route due to the danger of dogs.

The Postoleoni refuge is welcoming and has an excellent area equipped with tables, benches, barbecue areas and a drinking water fountain. It is owned by the Forestale, which makes it available only on request.
