Quiet roads through farmland and forests very close to Rome

The Reserve extends over a series of hills delimited to the west by the Tiber, to the south by the Bufalotta ditch, and to the north by the Rio del Casale which also marks the limit of the Municipality of Rome.
The low rounded hills are still cultivated with extensive arable land or intended for grazing, while the slopes of the valleys are covered with scrub vegetation: these are the remnants of the oak forest (oak, oak, oak, downy oak and farnet) often accompanied by maples and elms .
The fauna, threatened by urbanization and hunting until the establishment of the Reserve, is of extreme interest: the presence of mammals (fox, marten, weasel, but also badger and porcupine) is significant, among which that of the Italian hare stands out, an endemic Italian species. Of fundamental interest is the historical landscape system of the large estates (Marcigliana, Tor S. Giovanni), characterized by ancient farmhouses, often built on nuclei of Roman villas and by medieval towers that create a unique historical continuum. In this area stood the ancient Latin city of Crustumerium with its imposing defensive wall placed to control an ancient road route connecting Etruria and Campania.

Regarding access to the Reserve, we remind you that the public access accessible to all is via di Tor S. Giovanni n. 301, where there is Casale Lucernari, "Casa del Parco", and from where the circular route of the "Sentiero Natura" starts, while as regards the signposted accesses of via Nomentana/via della Cesarina; – via Salaria/via della Marcigliana; – via Salaria/via di Vallericca; – via della Marcigliana/via della Bufalotta; – via di Settebagni, these are accesses that lead to private properties and therefore passage must be requested from the owner, and correct, polite and respectful behavior must always be maintained for the environment, people and property assets.
