Guided Nature Walk - Cava Misericordia - RG

April 28, 2021
From the Iblei plateau, many canyons (Cave) and their streams flow into the Irminio River. One of these is Cava della Misericordia, one of the most beautiful in terms of nature, history, and geology. Vegetation has reclaimed many structures, including numerous mills where the "massari" (local farmers) from the plateau once came to grind wheat. The system relied on a network of channels that diverted water from the river to power the millstones or to irrigate vegetable gardens created through terracing, after reclaiming what little soil could be found on the arid slopes of the valley.
