Walking along the beautiful coast characterised by the presence of 5 limestone stacks, you can admire the marvelous stack called Pan Di Zucchero (Sugar Loaf). The first stop of the hike is the majestic structure of the Laveria Lamarmora, built in 1897 for the enrichment of the minerals extracted from the nearby mine.
