Corsica: Vizzavona GR20

From Corte we took the train to Vizzavona, in 33 kilometers we gained 460 meters in altitude, with many tunnels, and with a viaduct/bridge designed by Eiffel which I couldn't really see; however, in the photo John took below, you can see the shadow of the bridge in the gorge.



The infamous GR20 - Europe's toughest trek - passes right through Vizzavona. To the north it goes through an ancient pine and beach forest to the Cascade des Anglais, a series of waterfalls. It's more or less a road to the start of the falls, then the trail turned into a rock scramble, that is if you can make out the trail. In order to catch the train, we turned around a little past the top of the falls, but fully appreciated how grueling the GR20 could be. Check out the photos below including the beautiful purple crocus.
