A puddle, called Cutino, is worth seeing for its particular microclimate.

The Laghetto d'Umbra is a rainwater-fed lake. The turtles living here were released, but they seem to thrive here.

In the woods between Vieste and Peschici, on the Gargano, around 300 meters above sea level, a splendid path for any type of off-road bicycle winds through the woods. It is cooled by the shade cast by numerous trees and it is not uncommon to see the sea.

A road that won me over, from the sea it takes you to the top of the Umbra Forest. I rode it in August in a torrid period, but I was constantly in the shade and cool. Long climb but rideable, asphalt in excellent conditions except for a few very short stretches closer to the coast of Vieste

At the end of the Mandrione climb there is a large equipped area and, just before the bend where the descent begins, what remains of an ancient church dedicated to Sant'Antonio. Local news say that it was unfortunately demolished in the 1970s. What remains of it however evokes that sense of community that is still found in many parts of Italy. I got excited

The Mandrione provincial road takes you into the Umbra Forest. It is a very well maintained road, apart from some sections closer to the coast road, with non-demanding, although continuous, slopes. Many areas equipped to enjoy the fresh air. In some places the trees literally block the sun from entering

A beautiful walk in the Umbra forest in the Gargano region that starts from Laghetto d'Umbra near Caserma dei Carabienieri Forestali and follows the path to Caserma Murgia. From here you can deviate a bit to visit the ruins and then return along the path to Lago d'Otri, a small lake in the Gargano forest.
