The story

Floristella is one of the most significant sites of industrial archaeology in Southern Italy; the mining park is described as 'an open-air museum of industrial archaeology' and is one of the most striking, history-laden settings of the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Geopark. Retracing the history of central Sicily's mining civilisation, amid tales and anecdotes of life in the mine and of the 'surfarara' (sulphur miners), we will pedal past shafts, furnaces and descent tunnels; the route winds through a dense woodland that offers moments of pure fun in an off-road ride accessible to everyone!
