This hydroelectric plant was once covered in tall pine trees (and still is today) to prevent it from being bombed during World War II. The area is known as "abbascj alla Centrel," and in the past, many people bathed in the canals built near the plant and running through the countryside; the water was fresh, clear, and drinkable. Unfortunately, the canals are poorly maintained, but this place continues to fascinate tourists and all those who come to visit, upon request, especially in May, if they wish to enter the plant. The Apulian Aqueduct Cycle Route has been open for several years next to the hydroelectric plant. This cycle route allows many bike and nature lovers to pedal, walk, and observe the many wonderful places of the Murgia, the Itria Valley, and Salento.

The Ulmo Pine Forest, featuring a picnic area equipped with wooden tables and benches, extends over approximately ten hectares in the Ceglie Messapica area, in the heart of the Itria Valley. It's the ideal place to spend a relaxing day with friends and family, sheltered by the shade of the Mediterranean scrub and dense Aleppo pine forest, or simply to take a break before continuing your exploration of the surrounding countryside and the nearby towns of the Itria Valley.
