Lovely place in the middle of the woods. Out of the tourism season might be closed: check if it is open before to go.

A ruined old site for collecting water. From here there is a single trail that leads to CASA NATURA. Better in downhill: uphill is possible but very demanding

A natural depression that originally collected rainy water. This water was used to build an artificial drinking trough for the animals. The natural pond disappears during the dry season.

Don't miss, if you're in the Bosco Quarto, with its hornbeams and beech trees, the Ragusa Valley, formed by one of the numerous east-west oriented tectonic fissures that mark the Gargano promontory between the Umbra Forest and the area of San Marco in Lamis. It's very easy to cycle through and can be reached by anyone with a basic understanding of cartography and navigation, yet the impression is of being immersed in an environment profoundly removed from any human presence. On the southern slope, near Coppa del Giglio and Casa Natura, runs what was the line of a Decauville a century ago.

(... continues) suggestive Canyon of Valle San Giovanni which exits at Cagnano Varano, and which represents its natural (on a morphological level, not on a geological one) continuation.

Leave the dolina on the right and continue straight ahead. Nice path in the middle of the Gargano promontory, rocky but easy to ride. Wonderful view of Monte Calvo. Close the rudimentary gates on the way.

The dolina is typical of the Gargano due to its karstic structure. There are several throughout the Gargano. In some cases they can conceal caves.
