The Bosco della Ficuzza Nature Reserve offers a wonderful lush Mediterranean vegetation.
The Bosco della Ficuzza Nature Reserve is a protected natural area located in the province of Palermo included in the Monti Sicani Park in 2013. The reserve covers an area of about 7.398 hectares including Monreale, Godrano, Mezzojuso, Corleone and Marineo. It is dominated by a mountain of limestone, the Rocca Busambra (1613 m above the sea) and it is characterized by a prominent Mediterranean forest. The reserve is rich in rivers that create many natural lakes, called “gorghi”.
How to get there:
From Palermo take the Motorway Palermo – Agrigento, exit Bolognetta. Take the S.S.118 to Corleone, exit Marineo.

Hello,
I am trying to find if it is possible to catch a bus from Palermo central train station to come and see Bosco della Ficuzza for the day?
Also checking if the nature reserve is open during November? I hope to be able to visit, but am unsure with if it is possible to get here via public transportation?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Archie
