The Forest of the Elves and the Cave of the Brigands

Discover one of the most fascinating routes in Pantelleria, where nature, geology and history intertwine in a 3 km hike.The walk starts through the evergreen forest, among pines, holm oaks and strawberry trees, with the scent of rosemary and myrtle to guide you. The trail will take you, through a verdant climb, to the summit at 836 meters, offering spectacular views of the island. Along the way, you can make an emotional stop at the Grotta dei Briganti, a lava tunnel that preserves the historical memory of a significant episode: in 1863 it was the refuge of the band of brigands of Pantelleria. The descent will take you to the magical Elven Woods, where wild vegetation mixes with ancient pastoral vestiges, creating an atmosphere suspended in time. A perfect excursion for those looking for an immersive experience between unspoilt nature, fascinating history and unforgettable views.
