Sant'Elia to Tracciolino Map

The hike is picturesque, nice view on Sicily and on the sea.

Description

You can reach Sant'Elia by car then the start of the hike it's on the right of the three white and giant crosses you see at the top of the balcony.

After the first descent in the woods, super wild and steep, (so get your trekking shoes with you) the path became quite flat and easy to follow. At some point you'll have to cross a short bridge called the "Devil's Bridge" it's quite narrow but it's solid, there is also the chance to walk around it.
