Itinerary description
The Natural Reserve Cavagrande Cassibile is a regional nature reserve of Sicily, full of beautiful landscapes, anthropological, hydrological, archaeological and caving resources. The area covers 2 700 hectare.
It is crossed by the river Cassibile (the ancient greek Kakyparis), which over the centuries has created a series of deep canyons. In the valley, has come to create a complex system of small waterfalls and natural reservoirs (locally called "uruvi") often for swimming. The highest altitude reached the plateau on the bed of the river is 520 m above sea level, but it is close to the viewpoint of Avola Antica, which, with its 507 meters, the river reaches its maximum depth. Also in this section reaches its maximum width of 1200 meters. In the 10 km length of the canyon, as mentioned, you can admire numerous colorful lakes, with fresh and very clear water. Among them you can find many small beautiful lakes near Avola Antica accessible to the public through a historical scale, called Scala Cruci.

Excellent track! However the path to the secondary pond is now difficult to access as some trees have fallen on the trail and the surrounding vegetation is rather dense.
