The Sassi di Rocca Malatina, easily accessible from the Passo Brasa road a few kilometres beyond Guiglia, stand out strikingly from the surrounding landscape. Over the millennia, the formations which used to cover these rocks have eroded away, revealing the underlying crags of yellowish sandstone. This has created the immense sculpture of the Sassi, which soar upwards 312 metres, from 298 to 610 metres above sea level; the top 74 metres of the tallest rock can easily be climbed in about ten minutes. Already so unusual in themselves, the Sassi are also home to the peregrine falcon, which nests in this rocky habitat. Because of its interest to naturalists, the 300 hectares around the Sassi have been protected through the creation of the Parco Regionale dei Sassi di Roccamalatina.

A short detour from the via Giardini, before Lama Mocogno, brings one to Prê Canina, between Monzone and Brandola. This is the site of a rock bridge 33 metres long, known as the Ponte Ercole .

This long monolith, given its curved shape by the water which has worn away the softer ground beneath, is so strange that locals call it the Devil's Bridge.
