クアットロカステッラの天然記念物・トップ20

The Barboj Park owes its name to the rumbling sounds that accompany the emission of methane gases, salt water, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide, and mud from the subsurface through numerous small volcanoes of varying shapes and sizes, some up to 1 m high. These geological features, considered the most important in western Emilia, also extend to the nearby town of Torre di Traversetolo, to which the area is connected by several marked trails. The salse are characterized by the eruption of muddy salt water from spring pools, used for medicinal purposes until the 19th century, which flows into the small Barboj stream, a tributary of the Termina stream.

A circular tour recommended for everyone!

I did it last week after 6 or 7 years: still beautiful, but erosion has made the trail narrow, resulting in significant chasms. A 4 or 5-meter section can only be accessed by getting off your bike because it's very dangerous and slippery. However, its charm remains intact.

rideable climbs, well exposed for winter cycling

Monumental Oak

Nice panoramic path to reach it and suggestive place

beautiful ride, to be avoided if it has just rained, in case avoid the passage from the park of Roncolo, and when it is too hot, otherwise it is beautiful

A beautiful secular oak just above Rondinara, reachable from Monte Evangelo through a beautiful panoramic ride on a stretch of the Spallanzani path.
