U chjassu di i lavi The beautiful lakes of Melu and Capitellu are still accessible. It is now a challenging hike. Take on the challenge and your efforts will be rewarded! The former starting point for this hike, from the Grotelle sheepfolds, is no longer accessible by vehicle due to the significant damage caused by storms Ciaran and Domingos. The starting point is now at the Frasseta bridge.

These sheepfolds, which are in very good condition, mark the end of a forest area. The group of sheepfolds forms a small hamlet of several well-restored huts. The surroundings are magnificent, with large rock formations and the Riviseccu stream. Shaded throughout, the route follows an old forest track that climbs gradually through a forest where beech trees are omnipresent, in contrast to the Laricio pine trees along the stream.

An accessible and refreshing hike in the heart of the Restonica Gorges. The trail, almost entirely shaded, immerses you in a magnificent setting: cliffs, forests and spectacular panoramas follow one another along the way. And to top off the experience, natural pools ideal for a refreshing swim await you.
