Location: San Pietro Vernotico, Brindisi, Apulia, Italy
the Bosco Cerano reserve is an extensive formation that develops along the sides of a natural gully. the protected area protects from the residual portion of a coastal forest characterized by the presence of Mediterranean maquis and holm oak formation. there is the presence of woods of Virgiliana oak and a large number of Arbore punto species. Thanks to the particular climate of the area, hygrophilous plants (field elm and black hornbeam) are widespread. in the past the vegetation was much thicker and more extensive, today it is greatly affected by the ever increasing anthropic pressure on the whole reserve.

The Cerano forest (or "Tramazzone") has a large number of tree species, the reserve occupies only a portion of it, in the coastal part where there is a notable presence of Mediterranean scrub and holm oak woods. MTB routes both technical and tourist! To explore.
