Greenway of Elymians and Belice: main and related trails

Creating an environmentally friendly network of alternative transport system, known as “slow mobility,” by using decommissioned railway lines and minor roads. This is the concept that originated from the non-motorised mobility plan approved in Sicily in 2005 by the Regional Department of Tourism, Communications and Transport. In this context, such a concept was conceived to transform the “Salemi-Kaggera” Fascist-era railway section, which was left unfinished and never operational, into a striking “green line” or “Greenway”. An easy route for cyclists and walkers, surrounded by a charming landscape, that recounts the story of Trapani’s inland. A never-ending journey of discovery that makes it possible to learn about remarkable historicalmonumental, archaeological, and geological testimonies, as well as to admire lush orange groves, vineyards, and olive groves, artifacts connected to the world of farming and sheepherding, and civil engineering structures belonging to the railway line itself. The Trapani Greenway is also a strategic hub for six offshoot routes: one leading to Buseto Palizzolo via the charming Scorace forest, and five more routes marked by the Belican Museum and Nature Network. In particular, these routes cover anthropological, archaeological, natural, contemporary, and memorial aspects, providing a unique interpretation of Mediterranean civilization from ancient times to the present day.
