Trail Reviews
Beautiful hike through vegetation and wonderful views. Unmarked but well-beaten trail, except the one that leads to . I gave up at the Fossa del Bue refuge covered in vegetation and fallen trees. Beautiful experience., highly recommended. And off we go🌄🌄
The hike from Castellammare del Golfo to Pizzo del Dottore offers great views. The ascent goes along small farm tracks and beautiful paths. The way back to the valley on a beautiful old path is partly overgrown or blocked by fallen trees. Here you can also see traces of a forest fire. From the Belvedere Castellammare del Golfo the way back is identical to the ascent.
