Ficuzza, a hamlet of Corleone, is a small center that clustered around the hunting lodge commissioned by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon in 1803. All the activity of the village takes place around the open space in front of the "palace". From here you can follow various paths - really well maintained - which branch off within the Bosco di Ficuzza Reserve

Along the route of the old railway, a point from which you can enjoy a privileged view of Rocca Busambra, a ridge of over 10 km with steep walls that dominates the Ficuzza Forest and the village of the same name. Too bad that today we could only see rain and low clouds.

Route of the old railway line which allowed you to reach the hinterland, which starting from Palermo crossed the territories of Misilmeri, Villafrati, Godrano, the Ficuzza Forest and continuing its run in a south-west direction, ending in San Carlo di Sicilia. Today converted into a cycle path, it allows you to admire one of the green lungs of Sicily

From this point you arrive directly at Ficuzza (dirt road). From the start after about 500m you will find the path on the left that leads to Pulpito del Re.
