Alcantara River Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The remains of the castle are very sparse, but the view is great. The climb begins a little further east. There are several entrances to the river along the easy hiking trail.

Gurne di Francavilla Trail

Highlight • Trail

The ascent is very steep, but there is no particular danger even with children because there is no dependent on the side. However, you should definitely make sure to walk …

September 5, 2025,Alcantara-Schlucht Runde von Francavilla di Sicilia

Lots of asphalt and gravel roads, completely overgrown paths, gorgeous scenery, and a cool gorge.
Great tour under bright blue skies and 28 degrees Celsius.
