Hiking trails
Castagniccia countryside
Swimming in a waterfall (one day 9h45 – 4pm approximately)
This hike takes place from village to village under the shade of centuries' old chestnut trees in a forest of green oak: the oldest of the Corsican shale cliffs. You can see a 1,000 year old oak, in this region that has, in less than a century, become the most populated in Europe and the richest on the island. You can explore Roman chapels dating from the 11th century and baroque churches, some of which have been classified as historic monuments. There are also fortified houses, chestnut roasters, bread bakeries, the “Strosica” waterfall, fountains. Last but not least, the ancient quarry of Vert d’Orezza is located here which has a unique green stone, that resembles emerald, and which adorns the tomb of the Medicis in Florence. History, agriculture, fauna and flora and religious heritage. A cultural, family hike. 150m rise + Summit of the Castagniccia. 1,767 m
