サンヴィートロカーポのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The entire national park is permanently closed due to devastating forest fires in autumn 2025! The entrance is guarded; no entry is possible.

Fantastic panoramic views and deep views from the summit of Monto Monaco

Beautiful old farm track, seems endless on the ascent.

From the summit of Monte Monaco, there is a magnificent view over the bay of San Vito Lo Capo.

Note: If you take the (return) path past the Cozzo Mondella, you can easily reach the marble works (is it still in operation?). From the marble works, where the path again heads strictly north, you have to cross a horse paddock (without a gate, but still easy). After that, the 700m path down is relatively overgrown, including thorn bushes. In September 2025, we were still able to walk it quite well. (See photos)

Must visit. Unspoiled place, beautiful beaches. I recommend walking shoes and lots of water in summer!

The entrance from the South to the Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro is guaranteed by a car and camper parking lot (small ones...), ticket office and small refreshment point where you can make the last refueling before entering the reserve. After the ticket office you will no longer find toilets and points of purchase of food or drinks so make sure you do it before starting the excursion. The point of no return is physically identified by an unfinished tunnel that is a symbol of the history of this nature reserve. In fact, in detail it is a symbol of the civil protest that about 3000 people started in 1980 preventing the start of the road connection works between Scopello and San Vito Lo Capo. Thanks to this peaceful rebellion, the process of establishing the first nature reserve of the Sicily Region was set in motion. Some photos that I post describe its history.

Long enchanting, uncontaminated. Definitely to be reached with comfortable shoes and plenty of water in tow during the summer period.
