Hiking without technical difficulty in the forests of the massif of Nebrodi to Lago Biviere and passing by Lago Maulazzo. We constantly follows a more or less good track on the north and west slopes of Monte Soro, one of the peaks of the Sicilian mountains.
Leni Cliffs Circular Walk

Easy
Departure from Leni (Messina)
The starting point is at the beginning of the path, where you can park your scooter. If you’re coming by other means (car, etc.), you’ll need to walk a short distance along a small concrete road. The route forms a figure of 8 but can be completed as a single circular loop. It’s important to go all the way to the end of the circular loop, as that’s where the best views are!

Departure from Leni (Messina)
The route starts at the Valedichiesa bus stop and ends at the Lingua bus stop. The path is very poorly marked between Monte Fossa delle Felci and the Del Porri viewpoint: an alternative route may be worth considering. The GPS track is accurate for this section. There are plenty of steps on the descent and little shade.

Departure from Castelmola (Messina)
A round-trip hike. From the summit, the view of the ancient castles of Castelmora and Taormina is exceptional. You’ll be transported back to a medieval past when Arabs and Normans fought over Sicily.

Departure from Fiumedinisi (Messina)
The Fiumedinisi castle, which serves as a viewpoint, dates back to the Middle Ages and occupied a strategic position overlooking the Nisi valley and the Ionian Sea. The Normans had restored this fortress. The castle was in a dilapidated state until 2006–2007, when its restoration was finally carried out.
