리세르바 이솔레 델로 스타뇽 디 마르살라 최고의 사이클링 경로

Beautiful seafront to admire the fabulous salt pans.

Beautiful view from the Stagnone cycle/pedestrian path overlooking the island of Mozia.

The Stagnone Islands Nature Reserve of Marsala protects the largest lagoon in Sicily (over 2,000 hectares), a suggestive coastal wetland environment extending between Marsala and Trapani, on the western edge of Sicily.

An important natural product is extracted from the sea's saltwater here. Only through the power of the elements, sun and wind, which evaporate the water in the saltworks' shallow basins, does pure salt remain. Even today, you won't find a kitchen without salt to season dishes. But in earlier times, it had an additional significance: It was important for preserving food and was therefore so precious that salt was called "white gold."

The roads that cross the Natural Reserve of the Saline di Trapani and Paceco are easily accessible by bicycle; not all are accessible because they border on private land; in autumn you can enjoy a particular light that enhances the white of the salt deposits.

Beautiful landscape especially at sunset

The Ettore and Infersa salt pans are part of the Stagnone Nature Reserve. Opposite are the islands of Mozia, Grande and Santa Maria.

Luckily during my tour in Sicily I managed to see them in pink
