Classical excursion on one of the most
suggestive peaks of the Peloritanis Mountains. Magnificent the
views on the strait of Messina and on Calabria, without
forgetting the sight of the Etna. One of the so many Sicilian
legends tell that in the cave that is found near the top of the
mountain is hidden one “Truvatura” a treasure set by the
inhabitants of the place to defend it from the raids of the
Saracens.

Etna Regional Park
"Mont Sartorius"
|
Along
this track it's possible to find out volcanic bombs of
considerable dimensions, and admire wooded formations
dominated by the Birch tree (betula aetnensis). The exceptional
geologic interest is represented by the 1865 eruption that
has given origin to the craters called Sartorius, in honour of
the studious Von Sartorius.
