Over
Korte feiten: De 12 kilometer lange kustroute rondt het eiland waar Giuseppe Garibaldi zijn laatste jaren doorbracht, met zijn eenvoudige witte huis dat nog steeds zichtbaar is vanaf het pad. Granieten rotsblokken zo groot als auto's staan langs de kust, door de wind gebeeldhouwd in vormen die met elke storm veranderen.
Hoogtepunten: Kijk goed naar de granietformaties aan de oostkant en je zult natuurlijke bekken ontdekken die door zoutspray zijn uitgesleten, sommige met zeewater dat glinstert als vloeibaar turkoois. Lokale vissers noemen deze de reuzenbadjes en op rustige dagen weerspiegelt het water de lucht zo perfect dat je niet kunt zien waar rots eindigt en wolken beginnen.
Insidertips
- Start clockwise from the bridge for dramatic coastal views first, saving the wooded inland stretch for the return.
- Wear sturdy shoes: the granite sections get polished smooth by wind and can be slippery near the water.
- The only drinking water tap is at the Garibaldi museum entrance, so carry at least 1.5 liters per person.
- Bring a swimsuit and towel, some of the most swimmable coves like Cala Portese are mid-trail with zero crowds.
