The gypsum rocks present present in well-stratified formations with clay inserts, often with the formation of coarse crystals called selenite, i.e. Moonstone, which have a glassy sheen.
The path is located immersed in the hilly landscape of the Erei, and enjoys a splendid panorama that embraces the entire plain of Catania. The route is also characterized by the presence of various trees and wild plants.
Inside the route there are u Cummintazzo, i.e. the ruins of an ancient monastery, and a natural spring that flows from the rock.
