| L'Ospedale |
Half
an hour
from the camping. |
Small
hamlet at 800m, located 19km from the camping, owing its name to the
presence there of a hospital in Roman times. Beautiful pine forest,
many hiking trails, (from one hour to a whole day). Piscia di gallo
waterfall is highly recommended. There is also an artificial lake made
by damming the river Osu. Equally stunning are the views over the gulf
and even to Sardinia on a clear day.
Bavella
The jagged peaks of Bavella can be seen from the camping. About 25km from I'Ospedale the Bavella
needles is another spot not to be missed. Best discovered by hiking, a very popular spot for alpinists.
The most scenic route back to Porto-Vecchio is the road down the mountain from Bavella to Solenzara
although its not for the faint-hearted as the way down is twisting and narrow (you can return via
l'Ospedale if you would rather stay on the better roads) but you will miss stopping for a swim in
the various rock-pools in the river Solenzara, there are also many cannoning spots.
From the camping the circular route of :- Camping - l'Ospedale - Zonza - Bavella - Solenzara - camping can be done in half a day.
