スクイッラーチェ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Mandatory stop at the kiosk for a brasilena (Calabrian coffee drink produced here in Monte Covello)! If you are lucky you will find several locals ready to give you advice on the mountain routes.

From Girifalco, in less than 4 km but with a great ascent, you reach the Monte Covello Park, a wonderful place where silence reigns interspersed with the song of the many birds that inhabit it. In autumn, the mushrooms perfume the air and the colors of the forest become intense. It is the ideal place to regenerate.

A very pleasant route leads to the gates of the Calabrian Serre crossing the historic Marcellinara gorge and goes up to Caraffa di Catanzaro, a small center of Arbëreshe tradition and, finally, crossing magnificent olive groves, arrives in Girifalco. Here you can admire the so-called "Devil's Fountain", created by Carlo Pacino in the 17th century (it is told in just one night). In Girifalco, a visit to the fabric laboratory of the young Rocco Vitaliano, who also works with broom fibre, is recommended.

Monte Covello represents the peak of this area and is crossed by many local cyclists who choose to reach it from its southern and northern slopes. The mountain is characterized by lush greenery, so although the panoramic view is not available, the surrounding environment is extremely beautiful and welcoming. Furthermore, the track of the "Alta Via Parchi Calabria" passes right here.

The summit of the 848 meter high Monte Covello is forested and therefore not a lookout point. At the highest point of the mountain, however, there is a statue of the Madonna. It is only a short walk from the road.

The medieval city lies on the eastern slope of the Serre. From many parts of the village you have wonderful views of the mountains. But there is also a lot to see in the city thanks to the many historical buildings.
