Start of the Mareneve Climb

Highlight • Climb

From here begins the climb called "Mareneve" a name that already alone tells the 1100 meters of altitude difference which in 17 km, lead from just over 500 to over 1600 meters of altitude.

Sea view on the descent

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

I believe going uphill makes total sense too, but the downhill with a good view of the sea is very very nice

In contact with the river water lava masses are cooled very quickly and solidified into prominent, densely supported columns. Over time, the Alcantara has eaten its way through the lava crucible and created this small impressive canyon.
Unfortunately, the area is now intensively managed by tourists and the upstream "adventure park" is a horror. A few meters further up the road, however, is the "Ingresso communale" of the municipality. There you can go for a small fee and go down the hummock in the canyon. However, the shore is shared with all the others, who usually choose the more comfortable way with the lift.
Most of the time the water level is low and you can wade in the water a little way into the gorge. There are no other ways.

Castiglione di Sicilia

Highlight • Settlement

Known as "the quastallum" by the Arabs, Castiglione di Sicilia stands on a hill between the Alcantara valley and the Etna park, offering breathtaking landscapes with orchards and lava flows. It has a history dominated by the Arabs and subsequently by the Normans and Swabians. The village is known for its honors and its beauty, recognized with a regional decree in 1994.
The castle of Lauria, which dominates the town, was born as a defensive fortress for the city; well built as it was, on the sandstone rock, and surrounded by powerful defensive walls, it constituted a perfect military defense both inland and throughout the rest of the Alcantara valley.
From the start of your visit to Castiglione di Sicilia, it will not be difficult for you to notice how this village is closely linked to the medieval period, both for the narrow streets that characterize it and for the presence of a castle on top of a hill ' of stronghold.
