*November 2025 the bridge was replaced with a "temporary" crossing that allows cycling between Trappeto and Balestrate again, without having to use the SS 187 as a bypass

At certain times it can be busy, even with heavy vehicles.

Attention: Bridge closed to traffic as of April 2025! There is a large construction site cordoned off, and no access is possible. Either take a 10 km detour or walk down to the beach and cross there.

The intersection of the SP1 and SP1bis, between the municipalities of Giardinello and Montelepre, is marked by the presence of a large fountain which is unfortunately no longer in use.

Ancient drinking trough - now in disuse - at the gates of the hamlet of Grisì, near the Disisa crossroads

Very valuable work from the seventeenth century, which deserves better protection and greater attention from everyone. Consisting of two main parts, that is, a wall front and a large basin delimited by a parapet. The space in front is delimited by appropriately shaped paving stones for water disposal. The central front is made up of five blocks, on three of which there are bas-reliefs of human-like figures. In the upper part there is a large plaque engraved with the date of construction (1609) and a dedication. The central front ends with a tympanum surmounted by three pinnacles supporting three hemispheres. In the central part of the tympanum there is a stone coat of arms with symbolic figures engraved on it: a lion, a palm tree and the head of a man. On the side of the front there are ten daisies, five on each side, made in bas-relief on tuff blocks, in the center of which there is a hole for the water to escape. The water system, which no longer exists, which fed the outlets, consisted of a canal placed against the support wall of the fountain itself. The pool, paved in terracotta, is delimited by a parapet made of a series of blocks of molded tuff stone. The fountain stopped working in the 1950s due to the open-air water supply system polluting the water.

In the small square in front of the Trappeto station, there is this small wash house, which, especially on hot summer days, is an almost obligatory destination to replenish your water supplies and refresh yourself.

Beautiful and not very busy climb, not too demanding, which connects Montelepre with the state road 186, which offers the possibility of cycling among suggestive views and almost always crisp air
