THE FOREST OF THE OSPEDALE
A forest of lariccio pines and beech trees, home to flora and fauna endemic to Porto-Vecchio. Departure point for several hikes
The Ospedale forest is enchanting. The village takes its name "u Spidali" from an old hospital that welcomed travellers and shepherds on their way to the mountains as early as the 15th century. Fountain, sun clock, grand staircases and stone houses remind us of life in the past. Around the village, a forest of lariccio pines and beeches shelters an endemic fauna and flora. Higher up, its dam draws a surprising scenery. Then, a few steps away, a marked path leads to the Piscia di Ghjaddu waterfall, a spectacular 60-metre waterfall!
