06-Oct-2001 -- Mr. Augdoppler paid me a visit at Taormina. At 1130CEST we left my home by car and went via the villages of Francavilla di Sicilia / Moio Alcantara and Roccella Valdemone to the Monte Castelazzo road crossing. Contrary to my first attempt we proceeded a little bit more, in order to find a way down to the gap were we supposed the point to be.

Hans drove the car down a winded dirt road until there was no longer a chance to proceed. Then we dressed properly and started to crawl several hundreds of meters through dense thicket with thorny plants.

Finally we found the point. There is a tree where we fixed our plate. This is the view towards East, too.

We duly made the other directions, please note the fascinating variety of a Sicilian thicket forest in the Peloritani Mountains region! (North, South, West).

The typical fruit in the area is the chestnut tree. Here you see the chestnut blossom.

It was a hard point to make but I am glad to having converted my attempt into a successful visit with Hans' help.
