Regional park that extends for more than 6 thousand hectares. The park takes its name from a calcium sulphate ridge that emerges for a length of about twenty kilometers and never more than 1 kilometer wide. Area full of caves, brooms and wolves!

Fantastic landscape where the hills are furrowed by the spectacular silvery grey ridge that abruptly interrupts the gentle Romagna hilly profiles, a true geological monument of at least 6 million years.
