Guided hike in Bosco Angimbè woodland
This guided hike, organised by the local CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) section, leads through 200 ha of cork oak woodland about 4 km north of Salemi. The 3.5 km loop involves ca. 80 m of elevation gain and takes around 3½ hours, with breaks included. Trails pass under dense shrubs and scenic viewpoints. Ideal for hikers seeking nature close to town.
Salemi is accessible by road from Trapani, Marsala, or Palermo. The nearest train stations are in Mazara del Vallo and Castelvetrano, with bus connections available to the town.
