Very suggestive panoramic point and entrance to the Cava Grande del Cassibile Nature Reserve.

It's open again: Beautiful corner, even if the descent from the car park is not easy, but they are apparently currently working on renewing the path (as of October 2024). Jumping in and lying around is allowed, it's great fun. On the way back you can take a long walk and enjoy magnificent views down into the gorge, after another climb you cross the road back to the car park. Entrance fee at the top: adults 2€, children 1€, parking 4€, worth it! Arrival from Syracuse approx. 45m

In Noto, not far from some churches that have made Sicilian Baroque famous throughout the world, there is a remarkable open-air velodrome. It is named after Paolo Pilone, a now deceased track cyclist. It can be experienced more or less always and in every way: not infrequently, children play football inside the track, on which anyone can take a ride.

Testa d'Acquua is a semi-unknown town, known above all to riders on bikes or motorbikes due to the water fountains present there. One in the village and a wash house just before arriving in the village. In reality, there is also a NATO radar dome nearby. The town is practically a wild west scenario, quite desolate. But there is a well-stocked grocery bar for a stop!

the lakes at the bottom are wonderful, it's a shame that going down isn't exactly an easy walk... or at least, going up! Furthermore, at the moment the descent from the refuge/bar seems to be closed..
