PARCO SUBURBANO "CERRIOLO"

The suburban park Cerriolo consists in an large slightly sloping area, managed by the Azienda Foreste Demaniali della Regione Sicilia. The internal route was once the only connection between  Custonaci and Mount Cofano, and was used by pilgrims going to the cappella del Crocefisso (crucifix chapel) on the same mountain. The park has a typical Mediterranean shrub habitat with, primarily the dwarf palm (giummarra).  From the highest part the splendid view from Cofano to Erice, with the sinuous coastline of the Gulf of Bonagia. Following the signs you reach the small cave “Cufuni” with stalactite and stalagmite formations.
