Nature Tour

The itinerary winds through a mixed deciduous oak forest with a prevalence of Turkey oak, English oak, and Italian oak. The undergrowth, generally Mediterranean scrub interspersed with strawberry trees, is enriched with Oriental hornbeams in areas with a cooler and more humid microclimate. Along the route, visitors will pass through a natural cork oak forest once used for cork harvesting, bearing witness to traditional crafts that characterised (and in some places still characterise) forest areas in the Mediterranean basin. Visitors will encounter research facilities that have been collecting environmental data for sustainable forest management since 1990. The route continues with a visit to the bird-ringing station for scientific purposes, the Tor Paterno wetland, a monumental tree (known as  'leccione'), and an immersive experience at the Capocotta History and Nature Museum.
