At an altitude of some 700 metres, we find the beautiful <a href=\"\/en\/?p=47826\"><strong>Lake Prizzi<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The lake has an artificial origin, like most Sicilian lakes. It was built in the 1940s to water the area, and it feeds the <strong>river Sosio<\/strong>. The nature in the area is lush. We will walk through forests of holms, downy oaks and oak trees.<\/p>\n<p>5 km from <strong>Lake Prizzi<\/strong>, we reach the <strong>source of the River Sosio<\/strong>. The panorama overlooks endless meadows, torrents, valleys and large gorges. Because of its natural and morphological features, the river Sosio is part of the <strong>Monti di Palazzo Adriano<\/strong> e <strong>Valle del Sosio Oriented Nature Reserve<\/strong>. More than 60 birds species live in this area, and among the ash, pine and maple trees, we may see kites, golden eagles, hawks and other species flying. Once you reach the spring, take time to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the place and the river&#8217;s refreshing waters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":63663,"template":"","categories":[1920,1917,1940],"luogo":[2947],"stagione":[1877],"class_list":["post-62659","itinerario","type-itinerario","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entroterra-en","category-all-aperto-en","category-trekking-e-outdoor-en","luogo-palermo","stagione-spring"],"acf":{"galleria":false,"sottotitolo":"","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Dettaglio","paragrafo_1":"<p>If you are in the area of the Sicani Mountains and you feel like a short but intense horseback ride, this one is the route just right for you.
