Experience the Paliano forest where 30 hectares, 5 km of shady paths that can be traveled on foot, by bicycle and on horseback. These are the numbers to understand how much a day in the Paliano Wood allows you to experience nature directly.
Children up to 6 years old can live an experience in contact with nature and animals, experiencing the thrill of feeling like farmers, researchers and adventurers at the Bertacco Educational Farm.
The Celletti farm is a family-run farmhouse, renowned in the area for its hospitality and the many activities organized at its internal, such as the educational farm.
The Vallone Loddiero is a sort of "geological book" that allows to understand the complex stratification of this area, in which the alternation of calcarenitic deposits and volcanic products is characteristic, including the showy formations of "pillow" lava ( pillow lavas).
Also this valley is dug by a river, the Loddiero torrent, and has the morphology "a canyon".
The name "loddiero" derives from the Arabic toponym ad-dyar, which means houses, to indicate the custom at the entrance, that is to say the dwelling in a cave.
Here around, as indeed in the whole area of Militello and degli Iblei, one can admire numerous artificial caves, used for funerary and residential purposes for millennia.
The Vallone, where the Loddiero and the Carcarone flow together, extends over the territory bordering Militello and Scordia: here the valley widens, thanks to a greater softness of the rock and the consequent greater work of modeling the waters.
In Militello Val di Catania, the quarry where the Oxena river flows is characterized by the particular canyon morphology and is a place of extreme beauty.
This river, which flows over the north-eastern Iblei, has carved a sinuous gorge over the millennia, with splendid columnar basalts, more ancient even than those formed in the Etnean territory.
His bed is made up of basaltic rocks of ancient volcanic formation. Flowing, the course of the river meets a large mass of lava, which the water overcomes with spectacular waterfalls.
Olivastri, elms, ash trees, oaks, prickly pears, carob trees, tamarisks and oleanders grow luxuriantly, rendering this quarry verdant, which can be searched along the river.
The natural pools that form there also allow you to immerse yourself in the clear and pure water of Oxena (to the point that the river crabs proliferate there!), Surrounded by natural environments that create spectacular plant galleries.
Blera is located in the splendid territory of the Maremma Laziale.
It is an area distinguished by large expanses at various altitudes where the gaze is lost among cultivated fields, olive groves and areas dedicated to grazing animals.
It is common to find semi-wild herds of animals that fatten following the rhythms of nature and feeding themselves with top quality pastures.
Walking in these fields it is common to come across shepherds on horseback, the famous butteri who are one of the symbols of Italian horse art.
The area of the lower part of the town of Percile is rich in waters and streams which in the past also fed the famous mills of Percile. Some of these springs have healing properties known since ancient times such as the Aliucci spring whose waters cured kidney stones.
The source is located next to the church of St Mary of the victory and the Roman presence is testified by the remains of a Roman pavement.
