サンヴィートロカーポの峡谷・トップ7

A fascinating and beautiful grotto. A sign just before the cave warns of falling rocks.

The hike is completely overcrowded, and you're charged twice. You pay €9 at the parking lot and then another €5 per person. There's almost no shade anywhere, and the small swimming coves are completely overcrowded.

Scaletta Maruzza is certainly one of the most evocative passages of the entire Monte Cofano reserve.

Grotta di Mastro Peppe Siino, a window to the sea. In the latter, which takes its name from the owner, there was even a mill for grain, an oven and a press.

The path through the gorge of Monte Cofano is truly an impressive experience. You hike between towering rock walls that rise almost dramatically into the sky, and nature shows its wild side. Especially in the morning, when the sun brushes over the rocks, the landscape unfolds a special magic - the play of light gives the rocks an almost golden color. However, this path requires attention, as some hikers report: There are sections that are a bit more challenging, so sure-footedness is required. You should also remember to bring enough water, because there are no opportunities to refill along the way. Nevertheless, you will be rewarded for your efforts with a breathtaking view of the plateau of Monte Cofano. What makes this path special is the peace that surrounds you and the feeling of being in the middle of untouched nature. Here you can move far away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the originality of the Sicilian landscape to the full.

These caves were not only a safe haven in times of war, but also housed a millstone, an oven and a press that allowed people to survive there for long periods of time. Just the idea that these caves once secured the life of a community gives them a special historical significance. The path there is adventurous and leads through a rough but beautiful landscape. From the cave entrance you have an impressive view of the sea, which beautifully sets off the contrast between the rough rocky landscape and the calm, blue waters of the Mediterranean. As you explore the caves you will discover the traces of times gone by that are carved in stone here. A real highlight for hikers who are equally enthusiastic about history and nature.
