카르미냐노 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Promising route blocked by a gate - unsure of the rules as decided discretion was the better part of valour and turned around !

If you pass by those parts you must stop by to visit it and stop a bit in the adjacent clearing to relax in the silence. There are also tables and spaces where you can have a picnic and rest.

Devil's Boulder. It is a particular monolith located on the edge of a plateau surrounded by centenary holm oaks, similar - with smaller dimensions - to the so-called Etruscan Pyramid of Bomarzo. On the boulder there are writings that probably date back to a couple of centuries ago and indecipherable signs but what is most striking are the deep grooves perhaps due to uses and rituals that are lost in the mists of time. It is called "The Devil's Boulder" and is surrounded by centuries-old holm oaks in the Pietramarina woods, one of the most mysterious environments of Montalbano. The boulder is located near an area occupied by an Etruscan settlement, perhaps a sacrificial altar renamed "of the devil" by Christians to exorcise its pagan affiliation or, as a legend has it, "of the devil" because the devil left the the imprint of his hoof. However, the “Masso di Pietramarina” makes this corner of Montalbano suggestive and mysterious. It was also in a strategic position, given that from the top it is possible to see the sea.

The viewpoint of Poggio alla Malva is truly a viewpoint and an excellent stopping point.

Just a nice place!

Alegio view

A classic dead end on one of the excellent hiking trails. Equipment tip: machete. :)

I haven't visited it, but from the photos it looks magical
