The Nebrodi is the green lung of Sicily, a reserve rich in biodiversity and wildlife among which rare species are the golden eagle and the griffin. In addition to the four lakes (Lake Tre Arie, Lake Cartolari, Lake Biviere and Lake Maulazzo), the most famous naturalistic sites of the Park are: the waterfall of Catafurco, the fortresses of Crasto and the springs of Alcantara. Another site to visit is the highland of Argimusco that extends within the nature reserve Bosco di Malabotta, on the North side of Etna, on the border between the Nebrodi and the Peloritani mountains, between the municipalities of Montalbano Elicona, Tripi and Roccella Valdemone. From the highland you can enjoy an enchanting view and you can admire beyond Etna, also the Aeolian Islands, the curious mountains Rocca Salvatesta and Montagna di Vernà, Capo Tindari, Capo Calavà and Capo Milazzo. In the site there are numerous megaliths of quartz sandstone shaped in a curious and evocative form. According to popular tradition the anthropomorphic and zoomorphic forms are due to the intervention of prehistoric populations.
