July 21, 2022,Die Nekropolen von Pantalica - Schlucht voller Überraschungen

The first kilometer of the hike is very exposed. Toddlers should be given a hand here and elementary school children should also be kept under close surveillance. The cliffs here drop vertically into the river. Later in the tour, however, dangerous spots are secured or the slopes are not that steep.

Wonderful round that requires good shoes. Fantastic views of the ancient burial caves and the river valley.

October 5, 2024,Tag 7. Nekropole Pantalica

In 2005, UNESCO added the necropolis of Pantalica, together with Syracuse, to the World Heritage list under the name "Syracuse and the rock necropolis of Pantalica". The oldest graves date back to 1270, the most recent to the 8th century BC, i.e. the Sicilian Bronze and Iron Age. For us, the idyllic gorge was the highlight.

A very beautiful tour, but requires some stamina. Along the way, there are small paradises for swimming.
