This is where the source of the Orezza waters originates. This mineral water, famous as far away as China, is bottled here. It's a sparkling water that contains iron, very good for digestion. You can taste it for free on site (see photo). There's also a store where you can make purchases.

This peak is a relatively easy climb for a great reward. The sea views really give a sense of elevation.

A wonderful and well-marked circular hike to the summit of San Petrone. At 1767m, Monte San Petrone is the highest peak in the Castagniccia region. Castagniccia stands for the Corsican name 'chestnut grove' and covers the hilly area between Bastia and Aleria in the east of Corsica. The last ascent is again intense and well attended, I hardly met any people on my circular hike. But apparently there is still a not so intense way to the summit that comes from the north and brings some visitors with it.
