South of the Nebrodi mountains the river Alcantara meanders along the foot of the Etna mountain. Over the centuries the water has created a deep riverbed in the
lava rocks. Thus, cascades and deep gorges have emerged. Those can be explored on exciting hikes.
A collection of nice hikes in the Alcantara valley you find here.
The journey from Patti Marina to the Alcantara nature reserve takes about 1,5 hours. The drive through typical Sicilian mountain villages is an adventure
itself.
