A hike through nature, sweeping vistas, and local history, following an ancient regia trazzera (royal sheep track) that for decades served as a vital link between the communities of the Iblei and the countryside of eastern Sicilia.

Until the 1970s, many workers from Ferla and Cassaro traveled this route to reach the citrus groves of Pedagaggi, Lentini, and Francofonte, making the trek between their villages and their workplaces multiple times a day.

Highlights

  • Panorami sulla Sicilia orientale
  • Antica regia trazzera
  • Memoria del lavoro contadino
  • Paesaggi e vegetazione iblea

Day programme

Sunday 29 November

The trail begins with an ascent that allows us to admire the territory between Lentini and Francofonte from above, offering expansive views of the surrounding landscape and vegetation that shifts gradually with the altitude.

Once we reach the highest point, we will cross a small plateau that leads us into a different environment, guiding us to discover new vistas and the unique characteristics of the Iblei landscape.

An itinerary that combines the joy of walking with the rediscovery of ancient communication routes and the stories of those who traveled them, leaving an indelible mark on the memory of these places.
