Equipped area of the Mercadante forest, with fountain, bar and refreshment. Nearby, an enclosure with farm animals.

The Mercadante Forest is a protected wooded area that extends for 1,300 hectares between the municipalities of Cassano delle Murge and Altamura. It was born in 1928 from a reforestation project after a flood, and hosts different species of trees, such as oaks, cedars and cypresses. It is the ideal place to cool off among the trees on hot summer days and take a break in one of the areas equipped with picnic tables.

Starting point of a very beautiful and long path, which can be covered on foot or with any type of bike. Halfway picnic area
