Miniera Trabia-Tallarita and Monte Formaggio (CL)
October 31st and November 1st, 2020.
A weekend to rediscover the Nisseno area, rich in mining archaeology and trails that are as fascinating from a naturalistic perspective as they are from a historical and traditional one. We will recover the memories of our Sicilian land, accompanied by the stories of the local people. On Saturday late afternoon, we will visit Mazzarino. In the evening, dinner at an agriturismo and overnight stay.
On Sunday, we will hike to Monte Formaggio, a 639-meter peak that stands out among the surrounding hills for its distinctive pointed shape—a feature that makes it recognizable even from the Iblei territory in southern Sicily.

Other expenses: € 55,00 - Includes: overnight stay at an Agriturismo, Saturday dinner, breakfast, Sunday packed lunch, and entrance to the Mining Museum.
