Cascate dell'Oxena - Oxena Waterfalls - Militello Val di Catania

Описание: #Andy1803 #oxena #militello

Oxena waterfalls are located south of Militello Val di Catania, a very nice town in Catania district.
The waterfalls are part of Oxena river, a major tributary of Trigona river which mostly flows into Lentini lake.
The valley, limited by north-eastern Iblei mountains, is a less known natural paradise in sicilian countryside.
Green canyons, flower colored plateaus, narrow gorges carved by the water in ancient lava rocks, wonderful landscapes and stunning galleries formed by vegetation are the hidden treasures of Oxena valley. If you want to discover the unknown wonders of Sicily you should not miss it.

The best period for a visit is summer or late in spring when is hot enough to walk into fresh water, to go up the river easy and, why not, to take a bath in one of its enchanting pools.

To reach the site, drive until Militello, then take the road SP 28/11 towards Caltagirone but leave it after two kilometers through the SP 47 directed to Francofonte. You need to drive 6/7 kilometers more to reach an house for disable people. There is a gravel road. Few hundreds of meters, on the right side, and you'll find a panel near a gate. The trail starts from here, following downhill to the waterfalls.

When your trekking is over, don't forget to visit the town of Militello Val di Catania, world heritage according to the UNESCO, with its beautiful baroque center.
