Vista panoramica del Polje di Piano Battaglia
Once past the "Rifugio Marini" you come to Piano Battaglia Polje. Together with the Battaglietta depression, this forms the largest karst depression in the Madonie Mountains, reaching 2500 m in length and 800 m in width. The Polje is bounded by the carbonatic steep slopes of Monte Mufara, in the south, and Pizzo Carbonara, in the north; residual hills of limestone (hum) protrude through the clayey floor. Small-scale solutional sculptures (Karren), like solution pans (Kamenitza), cavernous Karren and rounded solution runnels (Rundkarren), develop on carbonatic blocks and slopes.
