Description

The passage from the noteworthy Etna orchards to larch pine woods, which takes place around 1,100 m a.s.l., is easily observed from this trail connecting Base Point no. 13 “Case Evacua” with Base Point no. 14 “C.da Giarrita” from East to West.

In this case, too, the trail first unfolds along inter-farm cart tracks, which then give way to small roads for forestry use. Starting at Case Bevacqua (1,013 m) the route reaches 1,366 m at the access gate to Contrada Giarrita, located along the S.P. “Mareneve di Fornazzo”. It touches Monte Stornello and crosses Hiking Trail no. 732 “Sentiero delle Ginestre”, through a short stretch of which it is possible to visit the craters of 1928.
