Valle Ragusa Beech Forest

Highlight • Forest

(... 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.

Included between two hills, Coppa del Monaco to the north and Coppa del Giglio to the south, the long karst valley, running east-west, called Valle Pezzente in the initial section and Valle Ragusa in the final one, is a small forest paradise in the heart of the largest Fourth Wood. A dense and continuous arboreal vault with large trees is found along the whole valley which can be covered completely given the presence of a forest track on the bottom. The valley can be reached and traveled more easily by entering from the San Marco in Lamis-Cagnano Varano road. At the bottom you live immersed under a thick forest vault among Hornbeams, Maples Cerri giants for which a typical association of the Gargano has been recognized and has been defined as Doronico-carpinetum or Doronico-carpinetum birches. The presence of rich formations of ferns, mosses and lichens is also exceptional, testifying to a hot humid climate, a characterizing element of the place. To get an overview of the valley, you need to look out from one of the two hills that delimit them, the Coppa del Monaco to the north and the Coppa del Giglio to the south. Coppa del Giglio is easier to reach starting from the nearby forest barracks.

Bosco Quarto Nature House

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The structure is a former barracks of the foresters (forests) of the 70s located in Bosco Quarto in the beating heart of the Gargano National Park, renovated and now used as a refreshment point for hikers. This location is unique in its kind as it is immersed in the green of the forest, optimal for those who want to rediscover the pleasure of nature, its slowness and its tranquility, broken only by the chirping of birds, attracted by the thick vegetation and the bells of the Podolian cows grazing wild.
