Hike overview
The Terrenzana site, located on the east coast of Corsica and protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral since 2017, boasts remarkable natural and historical treasures, including ponds, the sea, fishermen's huts, a Genoese tower, and diverse fauna, such as a colony of pink flamingos.
What makes it special? Its unusual tall scrubland, preserved from fires and intensive farming. Well-maintained trails dotted with information panels allow visitors to discover this natural and historical treasure trove. One significant advantage is that the loop is mainly shaded by the tall scrubland, which is ideal in hot weather.
