Trekking from Buscemi to Cassaro (SR)

November 06, 2016 -
This trail connects the towns of Buscemi and Cassaro, winding through the Valle dell'Anapo, Fosso Nocilla, and the Valle dei Mulini, passing by the small Byzantine church known as Santo Pietro. It is an area of remarkable natural beauty. Amidst the vegetation—typical of the cave (canyons), riverine, and wetland areas at lower altitudes, and characterized by Mediterranean scrub higher up—thyme reigns supreme. Since ancient times, it has provided precious forage for bees, giving rise to the famous honey of the Iblei. This trail is dedicated to Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925), a young nature and mountain lover who saw the outdoors as a training ground to strengthen the body and, above all, to elevate the spirit.
