An incredible climb winding through orange groves, with "cycling" graffiti painted on the ground. The climb is narrow, paved with some cracks, and can be done even with a road bike with low gears. Gradients between 8 and 12%.

Europe's highest active volcano: Its height varies due to constant eruptions, but usually remains around 3,357 meters. This makes it the most prominent landmark in Sicily. UNESCO World Heritage Site: Due to its geological significance and the almost complete documentation of its eruptions since antiquity, it has been a World Heritage Site since 2013. Constant activity: Mount Etna is almost constantly active. It belongs to the "Strombolian" type of volcano, meaning that smaller explosions, lava fountains, and ash clouds occur regularly. Fertile soil: Despite the danger, the local residents value the volcano. The weathered lava is extremely nutrient-rich, enabling the cultivation of excellent wine, pistachios (from Bronte), and citrus fruits. Myths and legends: In Greek mythology, the volcano was considered the workshop of the blacksmith god Hephaestus (Vulcan) and the prison of the gigantic monster Typhon.

Frederick II of Hohenstaufen built it in 1240 to provide the best possible protection for the entrance to the harbor of Syracuse. The Castello Maniace was both a fortress and a royal palace. After an explosion in 1704, the interior of the castle was largely destroyed. The exterior was initially preserved, but the upper floors were later demolished.

Along the coastal road, you can admire both the beaches of Catania and Mount Etna. At 3,403 meters high, the volcano is particularly spectacular when the summit craters are covered in snow.
