nice and quiet road

We went out by the trail and back by the road, a good pair of shoes necessary. Wonderful landscapes

For the long-distance trail "Le sentier de la transhumance," hikers are recommended to divide the total distance of approximately 75 kilometers—and, coming from the coast, more than three and a half thousand meters of ascent and three thousand meters of descent—into five to ten daily stages, depending on their personal fitness and hiking enthusiasm. A related hiking collection, "In the Footsteps of the Corsican Shepherds," by Julien Harté, is available at the following link: https://www.komoot.de/collection/2020568/auf-den-spuren-der-korsischen-hirten-sentier-de-la-transhumance

The spectacular Scala di Santa Regina is the eastern entrance to the Niolo. Reddish granite rocks show beautiful tafoni weathering here. A centuries-old mule track leads hikers through the gorge. But swimming in clear rivers is also possible. Source: https://www.paradisu.de/regionen/noerdliches-inselinneres/niolo/

Top bridge at top location. It's amazing what people were able to do back then

The village of Corscia lies at the beginning or end of the Transhumance Trail. Once used by shepherds to lead their flocks from the sea to the mountains, this hiking trail has become a must-see on the island of Corsica.

No, you're not dreaming ! You are indeed in Corsica, although this narrow canyon may remind you of a Far West setting. This parade of La Scala di Santa Regina (Saint Régine's staircase) is a long gorge that stretches for more than 15 kilometers. It was dug by the Golo river which flows below. You evolve at the foot of high rock faces. That's wonderful !

Translation of the explanation board: Erected at an altitude of 1100 meters between the Col de Battaglia and the Col de Croce Dolu, the Peace Sculpture, inaugurated on August 14, 1999, represents mutual aid and solidarity, symbolized by five hands - the five continents - united for peace. Realized from the drawing by Arnaud CASANOVA of the Porticcio school, winner of the Corsican schools competition "1,2,3... it's up to you to play - to draw - to peace". It was made in the Brando Quarry by the sculptors Anne-Marie Moretti, Andros, Dom, Pierre Pardon and Mario Sabaty. From its location we discover the Ghjunsani, the mountains, the Balagne, the sea and the horizon, a symbol of interiority and openness.
