로카발디나 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Spadafora Castle, or Samonà Castle, is an imposing fortification built in the late 16th century around a medieval tower. It served as a noble residence, but also as a base for coastal control. Today, it belongs to the Sicilian Region and is open to visitors.

Strait of Messina

The Peloritani are a small mountain range between Etna and Nebrodi in the north-east of Sicily. It is a beautiful, unspoilt area with lovely villages and great views of the two seas!

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!

Very nice narrow and natural hiking trail. Nice alternative to the military road.

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

The path sometimes branches off and then comes together again. Sometimes steep and slippery but beautiful.

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.
