Girifalco

Highlight • Settlement

A very pleasant route leads to the gates of the Calabrian Serre crossing the historic Marcellinara gorge and goes up to Caraffa di Catanzaro, a small center of Arbëreshe tradition and, finally, crossing magnificent olive groves, arrives in Girifalco. Here you can admire the so-called "Devil's Fountain", created by Carlo Pacino in the 17th century (it is told in just one night). In Girifalco, a visit to the fabric laboratory of the young Rocco Vitaliano, who also works with broom fibre, is recommended.

Road through the woods along the Calabrian cycle route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This stretch of paved road through a densely wooded forest is truly fantastic. The Alta Via dei Parchi Calabria also passes through here, and thanks to the altitude and the shade provided by the thick forest, you will be protected even during the hottest days of the year.

Picnic area with water and bar

Highlight • Religious Site

Centuries-old beech woods are very frequent along the route of the cycle path in the Serre Park and there are many fountains of spring water: a unique pleasure to stop in these secluded places, drink from water and enjoy the extraordinarily healthy air.
