Nature Path (... where nature becomes general knowledge)
The Park, with its wonderful and complex ecosystem, has led to the comprehensive reconstruction of the habitats that represent its principal hallmarks, in order to inform the public on just how important the preservation of its woodland actually is.
The path runs through educational areas and stations for over 400 metres. It begins with a section named "The ecological sequence", featuring a heathland area, with the plant species heather, common broom, scots pine and birch, whose proliferation has been encouraged in order to reproduce a series of habitats (low marshland, high marshland and forested marshland) that can be found within the Park. The "Butterfly Meadow" and the educational pond were planned with the same intention. The former comprises grass species and shrubs that attract butterflies. The spontaneous population inhabiting the pond makes it an ideal nature-watching site for young and old alike, with many insects and amphibians visible in the water and amongst the vegetation. The agricultural section has a similar function, with references to the important farming and forestry activities conducted in the area. The successive sectors of the path are highlighted by means of different paving colours, and the transition from one area to another is marked by wooden structures at ground level. The entire path can be used by people with reduced motor capacity, because it is made with a stabilized surface with a minimum width of 1.5 metres.
