Here’s a road for when you want to leave sea level behind*—fast.
Tràpani‘s waterfront to Èrici, the hilltop town: about 7.5 miles. And Erice is at about 2450 feet.
Whew! Makes my ears pop just thinking about it (almost!)!!
* The trick is you have to journey to northwest Sicily to do it!

That route looks wild! It appears to be on a steeper face than the western side. Would be quite a bike ride down.

I gotta say, I also wonder about the water supply; thatsalotta people—Èrici’s population is supposed to be >28K.

JCB, try reading it backwards, that way you won’t get hooked.
