노바라 디 시칠리아 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Beautiful foliage in the autumn period

This place is always open and is a stop on the famous Path of the Patriarchs. Basic trekking equipment is recommended.

The rocky pyramid of Rocca di Novara ("Matterhorn of Sicily") seems inaccessible...as a landmark, it can even be seen from Mount Etna! This rocky promontory has a well-maintained trail (adequately marked with red dots), making it never too difficult to climb. (Caution: Surefootedness, a head for heights, and good weather are essential!!) From the summit plateau (large metal cross with the silhouette of Christ), there is a magnificent view of the coast, the mountain villages in the hinterland of Milazzo, and the Peloritani Mountains. The starting point is a picnic area on the SS185 (which will likely be impassable from the south for some time to come due to a landslide). There are a few parking spaces along the roadside; for off-road vehicles, you can also drive up to the first bend of the picnic area. A fantastic mountain experience - and afterwards, head to the café in Novara d. Sicily -> Bar S. Niecola!

This beautiful picnic area is located right next to the Croce Mancina gate, a pass at an altitude of 1,241 meters. Here, even in the height of summer, you can breathe the fresh air of the forest.

Excellent starting point for the climb of Rocca Salvatesta. It is an area equipped with tables and fire points, an excellent bivouac point next to the state road (the presence of a water source has not been confirmed) to then tackle the climb the following day

Particularly worth seeing during Carnival time when the Maiorchino cheese is rolled through the village: https://www.comunedinovaradisicilia.me.it/il-torneo-del-maiorchino.html

Novara di Sicilia is one of the Borghi più belli d'Italia and it really deserves this title. A great place full of nice people.

Beautiful view of Novara and the Rocca. The path is easy to walk. Part of the Cammino dell'Anima hiking trail
