Sciammoru del Lupo

This trail is the residual part of an ancient route that connected the town of Trecastagni with the wood belts, mainly coppice chestnut, and with Piano del Vescovo. Today, the part closest to the town being paved, it can be taken from from Contrada Cicirello, where the Base Point no. 20 (Casa della Capinera) is. Thus shortened, it overcomes a difference in altitude of 260 m, in a 5.2 km length. A long initial straight allows leaving the wood area and crossing the shrubs of Sciammuru do ‘lupu, with reference to small pools of water in which the wolves, once present on Mount Etna, went to drink. As it crosses the Eighteenth-century lavas, the trail becomes less visible and turns into a small path that runs through the broom and small valleys in the middle of the lavas.
