It is strange that two hills that are so green destroyed almost half the city of Catania. Climb to the top of the Red Mountains and try to follow the flow’s path to the sea!
If you are a licensed mushroom expert, there is no better place to hunt for porcini mushrooms, which are excellent typical products of Etna.
The undergrowth of the chestnut grove of the Red Mountains is rich in vegetation. Try to focus on its aroma alone!
If you touch the undergrowth or walk in flat shoes, be careful of the chestnut shells; they are like real hedgehogs! Try to hold a few in your hand without pricking yourself and you will realise just how well the chestnut tree defends its fruits.
