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

Forest dedicated to Saverio Mercadante “Giuseppe Saverio Raffaele Mercadante (baptised 17 September 1795 – 17 December 1870) was an Italian composer, particularly of operas. While Mercadante may not have retained the international celebrity of Gaetano Donizetti or Gioachino Rossini beyond his own lifetime, he composed as prolific a number of works as either; and his development of operatic structures, melodic styles and orchestration contributed significantly to the foundations upon which Giuseppe Verdi built his dramatic technique.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saverio_Mercadante?wprov=sfti1
