로메타‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 산 정상

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

From here you have a fabulous view of Messina and the straits to Calabria! The military road that leads right through the Peloritani starts here!

old military road with little gradient. Very easy to walk.

Wonderful bivouacs overlooking the Strait of Messina. However, I advise you not to pitch tents on the plateau of the Forestry Watch Tower because (said by the forestry workers themselves) there is the danger of unexpected and very powerful lightning. For bivouacking there is, just below the Forest Tower, another smaller plateau, next to the access road to the plateau.

Popular destination. You can also go into the church. It was always very windy when I visited. The old military road, the Way of the Two Seas, starts here. Beautiful.

This path offers a wonderful view of the Ionian Sea, just stop to admire the view to be breathless by the great beauty.

A wonderful panoramic point on the Ionian and Tyrrhenian side, the peak is located at an altitude of 1065 m, the view from here repays all the effort made to get there.

At 1,130m altitude. Spectacular views of Messina on one side and Milazzo on the other. Incredibly quiet, about 4 degrees colder than down by the sea... The hiking trails are very well marked, especially in the steep terrain. You can do it in sneakers, but hiking boots wouldn't be a mistake.
