Former quarry along the Lanza. The narrow entrances do not suggest the expanse in the interior, with large vaulted rooms connected by small passages and reflected in geometric perspective games …

Very pleasant, simple and quiet walk. Suitable for children but not for strollers, because the last stretch includes an ups and downs in the woods. The historical-cultural aspect of the molerà quarries, the history of the Mulino del Trotto and the railway are also very interesting.
