This tour only touches it but is worth a visit in itself.
The Merlino forest, located in the municipality of Caramagna Piemonte, is the most recent of the Piedmont nature reserves, having become a protected area in March 2019; the forest is also a Special Conservation Zone (ZSC IT1160010 "Bosco del Merlino").
It constitutes one of the last forest plains of the Cuneo plain considered, despite its modest current extension (351 ha), a significant example of this environment in the entire Po valley. It consists of two nuclei, called respectively Bosco Grande (Bosco del Merlino) and Bosco Piccolo (Bosco della Pica), lapped by the Meletta torrent, dominated by the oak-carpineto of the low plain (habitat 9610) and delimited mainly by meadows and arable land.
