Castagniccia is a region in north-east Corsica, located between Corte and Bastia. It takes its name from the huge chestnut trees which populate the region.

My suggestion
Despite very difficult access, due to narrow and winding roads, this part of Corsica (which is all inland), is worth a detour.
The GR20 is a difficult trek that is known to walkers from all over the world. It crosses Corsica, from north to south, or the opposite, in 15 days of intensive walking. But seeing the sunset over the Aiguilles de Bavella, or the sheep on the mountain ridges, not to mention the unforgettable views of the sea - aren't these natural wonders worth the effort?
