Tips

The mount of S.Nicola is a valuable naturalistic area subject to landscape constraints at about 6km from Monopoli. The 295m high hill offers a vast panorama that extends from Polignano to Ostuni. The wooded area has various plant species typical of the Mediterranean scrub: the olive tree (and wild olive), the fragno, the holm oak, the downy oak, the maritime pine (introduced with the reforestation of the 1950s), myrtle and prickly pear, as well as numerous floral species, some of which are endemic. The karst nature of the place is clear, given the presence of numerous caves. Inside the forest there are a series of paths that connected together make up a very fast and technical trail for MTB. But Mount San Nicola is much more: it can be hiking, climbing, orientering, walking and picninc with the family, always respecting the environment.

Hey Nick, there is a small walkway to the side of the gate. The gate is always closed to avoid that cars arrive to antenna (that is private), but you can pass if you are walking or biking. On Sunday it is often used for war games, but it is always signalled on the gate in case (and you will find a lot of cars :()
