Cava Margione amid gorges and rural history

A hiking trail leads through the upper gorges of the Tellaro River in the section known as Tellesimo. One of its bends is called Cava Margione; the erosion caused by the water has formed deep gorges and canyons there. The path through Cava Margione runs through dense vegetation with wild carob trees, wild olive trees, strawberry trees, wild fig trees and hackberry trees. Typical undergrowth includes aromatic plants such as thyme, wild mint and oregano. Along the way are the ruins of old dwellings, caves inhabited by people and the remains of an old watermill. These sites bear witness to the rural history connected with the river.
