Weather events such as rain and wind turned into artists, having fun shaping the sandstone rock, creating coves and sculpting the rock into strange and perfect designs.

Also known to the Casalecchiesi as Parco Talon, it consists of what remains of the possessions of the marquises Sampieri Talon, who from the 17th century built villas (Villa Sampieri Talon) and a park on the land they owned; the current structure of the park suggests the original design: a large garden extended around the two villas, built according to the canons of the French school of Le Notre, then a small Italian garden, finally a vast English park which it opened up suggestive views of the river and the surrounding fields and vineyards. The picture was completed by a pond, statues, kiosks, and exotic settings, according to the tastes of the time. Behind the villas, on the steep slope of the hill, extends the forest, a hunting and timber reserve. The park has seen moments of great social splendor, particularly in the 18th century, and has hosted parties and famous people. Since 1975 the park has been municipal property and has been open to the public, and even if time and history have had a heavy impact, it is still possible to imagine the ancient noble glories. It currently constitutes an invaluable public heritage, a destination for hundreds of citizens every day, with historical and naturalistic evidence of great value. The park is crossed by the Sentiero dei Bregoli.

From the road, take the dirt road that takes you to the visitor center. For centuries these stones have been used as a military defensive point. First came the Byzantines then the Malatigni family in medieval times. There are paths both on foot and by MTB to see the stones from different angles.

Not to be done when it's too hot. But very nice ride.
